Q: How can we ensure the products we order are genuine? A: We guarantee the authenticity of our products by sourcing them directly from the manufacturers. We have conducted thorough audits of these manufacturers to ensure quality and reliability. This close relationship allows us to provide you with the right products at the best possible prices.
Q: Is my product Cosmetics or OTC product? A: Yes, we frequently receive that question. Rest assured, we are experts in FDA regulations. We can delve as deeply as necessary to ensure you understand what you're dealing with. Even better, you don't have to handle it yourself—we'll take care of it for you! Our service is designed to save you time and eliminate stress.
Q: I heard that distributing sunscreens in the U.S. market is tricky and complicated. How do you help? A: There are two sides to this issue. First, from the manufacturers' perspective, many are not compliant with the FDA's OTC drug regulations, which require a high level of GMP compliance. Achieving this is not an easy task. Second, from the perspective of U.S. brands, they also need to adhere to FDA regulations. The good news is that we handle both aspects. We inspect manufacturers and elevate their compliance to the necessary OTC drug level if they produce sunscreens. For brand owners, we manage the compliance process on their behalf. Thus, we address both sides of the problem effectively!
Q: Do you support onboarding to major retailers and online platforms? A: Absolutely. We ensure that your products meet all the requirements for ULTA Beauty, Sephora, Amazon, Walmart, and more. You may have heard of products being unexpectedly flagged or delisted. This often happens when they are non-compliant or fail to demonstrate and defend their regulatory standing. But don't worry—we handle all of that for our clients!
Q: What if compliance issues arise after launch? A: We offer continuous support for any compliance challenges, whether they arise from consumers, the FDA, or retailers. If consumers raise concerns about compliance, safety, or efficacy issues, we handle them efficiently. Should the FDA initiate an inquiry, we have the expertise to manage it effectively. While retailers may not be fully versed in FDA regulations, they are adept at identifying potential issues, and we ensure your defense is robust, keeping you ahead of the curve.
