MoCRA Kit
Get your cosmetic records organized before MoCRA questions get urgent.
A plain-English readiness guide, simple tracker, and copy/paste templates for small skincare, soap, lip balm, and body-care sellers.
Use it to organize records and questions. Not legal advice or a compliance guarantee.
Most small sellers do not need more tabs open. They need one clean record file.
Recipes live in notebooks. Supplier answers sit in email. Product listings live in Etsy or Shopify. Batch notes, label drafts, and customer complaints end up scattered right when you need them together.
MoCRA is already part of the recordkeeping reality for cosmetic sellers.
FDA updated Cosmetics Direct materials in February 2026 for biennial facility registration renewal. Even if you still need professional guidance, the first useful step is practical: collect product data, supplier records, labels, batch notes, and open questions in one place.

Answers small sellers usually need first.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an organization and education product that helps you gather records and questions. Use a qualified professional for legal or regulatory determinations.
What does the kit not do?
It does not submit anything to FDA, approve labels, or determine whether a business is exempt or compliant. It helps you organize records and prepare better questions.
Does this tell me if I am exempt?
It helps you document the facts that matter for a small-business exemption review. It does not make the legal determination for you.
Does this provide safety substantiation?
No. The kit can help you organize product, supplier, label, batch, and open-question records for review, but it does not provide safety substantiation, testing, or a conclusion that a product is safe.
Is this only for skincare?
No. It is designed for small skincare, soap, lip balm, body-care, and cosmetic sellers who need product and record structure.
What is included?
The Starter Pack includes a PDF readiness guide, simple Excel tracker, supplier and manufacturer email templates, printable checklists, and a read-me-first PDF.
