101: Groundbreaking news that will shake up the beauty industry | bonus episode

Clean Beauty School

Did you know that the FDA never had the authority for beauty product recalls? Or that beauty brands didn't have to disclose potential fragrance allergens on ingredient lists? Or that beauty companies didn't have to report adverse events to the FDA?

All of that is about to change.

In late December of last year, a bill passed in Congress implementing a massive and long-overdo update to the FDA’s regulatory oversight for the beauty industry: Thanks to the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act (MoCRA), the beauty industry will better align itself with supplement manufacturers—and even closer to the EU, which is often held up as the standard for cosmetic regulation.

In this bonus solo episode, mbg beauty director Alexandra Engler walks through the exciting changes, what we now know, and what it all means for you, the beauty consumer.
