Any cosmetic manufacturer wishing to sell its products in the U.S. can perform safety and efficacy research, but is not bound to provide that information to the FDA at any time.

If the product is labeled as something to cleanse, beautify, promote attractiveness, or alter appearance, it is considered a cosmetic.

• Regular shampoo (because it cleanses and conditions, but does not prevent a condition)

• Deodorant (because it improves body scent)

• Anti wrinkle cream (because it reduces the appearance of lines and smoothes the complexion)
