How will the new rules affect distributors?
Many skincare products in our industry already abide by FDA requirements. "We will not need to change any of our formulas," Ludlow said of SnugZ USA's sunscreen and lip balm. "We will update our labels accordingly and provide testing for the UVA and UVB protection as well as the number of minutes that our sunscreen will be water-resistant."
The concern for distributors will be with the new labeling requirements. Once the regulations take effect, all packaging must reflect the new information or face fines. As a result, the space available for client's artwork may be affected.
