2014 BEAUTY AND
PERSONAL CARE
MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
Sales of the U.S. cosmetics and
toiletries market have topped $42 billion
at the manufacturers’ level in 2014,
and, for the fifth year in row, the market
posted revenue growth, according to
the 2014 edition of Kline’s Cosmetics &
Toiletries USA report. Upward growth
is driven by the consistent healthy
performance of all product classes,
with oral care, hair care, and makeup
occupying the top spots in terms of
growth. Expanded retail availability,
innovative products, diagnostic tools,
and social media outreach all contribute
to the industry’s growth in 2014.
MAKEUP
The makeup products class witnesses another strong year of sales,
guided by the eye and face makeup categories. Face makeup is driven by
multi-functional foundations, providing advantages such as full coverage,
moisturization, concealing, anti-aging, and SPF protection while the eye
makeup category benefits from the growing demand for eyebrow products,
eyeliners, and mascaras. This year, lip glosses experience a dip in sales
with consumers shifting their preference back to the pigment-rich lipsticks,
available in newly improved long-wearing and lightweight formulae. Although
experiencing a drop in sales for the second consecutive year, the nail polishes
category is offset by the introduction of gel polishes from leading marketers,
such as Coty, Revlon, and L’Oréal in the second half of the year.
14
Fast Fact: Innovations in gels,
long-wear lacquers, and removal
technology help the professional nail
care market continue to shine. In
2014, the global market is estimated
at nearly $1.2 billion, with positive
growth forecasts and still untapped
opportunities.
ORAL CARE
HAIR CARE
Supported by a stellar performance
of the lip balms category, the oral
care product class showed its best
face in 2014. Growth in this category
was driven entirely by EOS (Evolution
of Smooth), which has skyrocketed
to the #2 spot in the category due
to its attractive packaging and
appealing flavors.
With almost 3% growth, the hair care product class is
dominated by shampoos and conditioners. Cleansing
conditioners, also called co-washing, a product type
popularized by direct marketer Guthy-Renker with its Wen
brand, has gone mainstream with mass companies such
as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and L’Oréal beginning to
offer them. Oil-infused hair care product lines enriched with
various kinds of oils, such as argan, Moroccan, kukui, and
coconut, are also gaining popularity.

Marketing
Trends (cont.)
SKIN CARE
Skin care continues to be the leading product class in terms of sales value,
backed by the positive performance of skin care products for men and hand
and body lotions. Men prefer skin care products that address specific skin
care concerns and require products that function effectively and provide
quicker results. To address these needs, several companies use minimalistic
packaging designs on such products. Within the hand and body lotions and
sun care categories, spray-format products are gaining popularity due to their
easy application process, product packaging that allows for an even spread,
and claims of a quicker absorption rate.
BEAUTY DEVICES
Inspired by professional
technologies like lasers and the
first-ever wearable mask devices,
new products help fuel consumer
interest and the at-home beauty
devices market, which globally
increases by nearly 14% in
2014. The market continues to
be remarkably dynamic, nearly
doubling in size since Kline first
tracked it.
MARKET OUTLOOK
The U.S. market is projected to
reach nearly $50 billion by 2019.
Makeup is projected to show the
highest growth during the forecast
period; skin care will remain the
largest contributor in terms of
dollar value.
Fast Fact: The trend for natural beauty
products is growing every year due to
more and more consumers looking for
greener ways to keep their skin looking
naturally beautiful. In 2014, the global
market for natural personal care products
is estimated at more than $32 billion at
the manufacturers’ level, with attractive
opportunities for its players.
The ICMAD Practical Guide to
Selling Cosmetics in the U.S.
Fast Fact: One of the most unique
launches comes from newcomer La
Lumière with its illuMask brand of
wearable LED light masks. Available
in two varieties—Anti-Acne and AntiAging—and at an affordable $29.95 price
tag, illuMask caters to the mass market,
which has, until now, lacked traction.
This short guide was compiled to assist
international companies in understanding
the complex nature of U.S. regulations
with respect to the sale of beauty
products.

In 1998, under then President Bob Barash,
a PR firm was engaged to enhance ICMAD’s
public profile. One of the suggestions was for
ICMAD to sponsor a competition. The Young
Designers idea was taken from a competition
that had been run by ICMAD member
company W. Braun. Frank Cornacchiulo,
then principal at W. Braun, suggested that
ICMAD restart the competition, to both
enhance ICMAD’s image and to showcase
the extraordinary talents of students studying
package design. The goal of the Young
Designers competition was to encourage and
develop future creative talent.
The competition was established in 1999
with rules for designing a cosmetic package.
Judging was based on specific “real world”
criteria and judges were selected for their
expertise in the package design field. The
three top winners were given cash awards
(which was unique at the time, since it
did not involve scholarship money) and
celebrated initially, at a luncheon and
subsequently, a dinner attended by ICMAD
members and guests and featuring a well
known industry “star” to present the awards
(listed below). For some of this time, the
Young Designers Dinner was held during
HBA in New York, other years it was a stand
alone event.
The number of schools varied from five to
seven and each school was asked to select
its top ten entries to send to the judges.
This was done in consideration of the time
involved for each judge to determine their top
three selections. In 2014, thirteen colleges
and universities participated in this design
competition.
22
When the competition coincided with HBA,
the winning students were given badges to
attend the show. Later, students met with
ICMAD member companies to give them
a taste of the opportunities in our industry.
Several of the winners had never been
out of their home states. Most were very
appreciative of the opportunity and we have
had some follow up feedback that winning
the competition had changed a career path
or two.
In 2014, several changes were made to
further enhance this student competition.
The Young Designers Celebration dinner was
moved to southern California and the student
with the best design, as chosen by a panel of
industry experts, was given the opportunity
to work with an ICMAD member company.
In 2015 the Young Designers event was again
held in southern California, where more than
225 ICMAD member companies are located.
The winners met with Beauty Collection,
Benchmark Cosmetics and Urban Decay.
Celebrity hair expert Chaz Dean was the
guest speaker and presented the Young
Designers awards. The 2015 Young
Designer winners are: Travis Cuellar, Fashion
Institute of Design & Merchandising,
1st Place; Ajalique Chapman, Colorado
Mesa University, 2nd Place; Kyle Newkirk,
Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, 3rd
Place; and Brittany Rachel Bosshardt,
Colorado Mesa University and Sergio
Lopez, American Academy of Art Chicago,
received Honorable Mentions. The first Place;
winner also received a contract opportunity
with ICMAD member company East Hill
Industries.

ICMAD
Cer tificate of
Free Sale
Cosmetics companies exporting
products from the United States are often
asked by foreign governments or their
overseas distributors or customers to
supply a “certificate” as a required part
of the process to import a cosmetic or
personal care product into their country.
ICMAD initiated its Certificate of Free Sale
Program in 1992 in response to members’
requests for these certificates, which
needed to be properly authenticated and
obtainable in a timely manner.
The original program is available to
current ICMAD member companies
manufacturing products in the U.S. The
certificate states that ICMAD certifies that
the named company is a member in good
standing and the products named comply
with U.S. FDA GMP Guidelines for
Cosmetics, with all pertinent regulations
and are sold freely within the U.S.
ICMAD currently has procedures in place
to obtain authenticated certificates for
more than 140 different countries. Last
year, more than 1300 certificates were
processed.
In July 2011, ICMAD updated its
Certificate of Free Sale Program by
making it available to distributors that
are current ICMAD members, provided
that their manufacturer is also an ICMAD
member and is located within the U.S.
Also new is an expedited authentication
service for those products being exported
to countries that require U.S. Department
of State certification prior to obtaining
embassy approval from the country
of import. This has reduced the time
required to complete these certificates
from as much as 12 weeks to two to four
weeks.
In August 2013, in a continuing effort to
improve the quality and efficiency of this
service, a new all inclusive pricing model
was introduced to eliminate separate
shipping charges and authentication fees.
A new courier service was engaged to
expedite authentications and an email
group was implemented to notify member
participants of any changes to the
program.
28
Q: Can I get a Certificate of
Free Sale from ICMAD?
A: Yes, as a trade association ICMAD
can provide Certificates of Free Sale for
members, because, unlike foods, drugs
or medical devices, “FDA is not required
by law to issue certificates for cosmetics
(although the Agency intends to continue
to provide this service as resources
permit)….” The FDA has also indicated
on its website that because production
of its certificates may take several
weeks, foreign governments may accept
certificates issued by other organizations,
including trade associations, and it
recommends that firms pursue alternative
sources for export certificates whenever
possible.
Q: How can I get a
Certificate of Free Sale?
A: If your company is a member of
ICMAD, you can download the Certificate
of Free Sale application from the ICMAD
website, www.icmad.org. Fill out the
application and mail, fax or email it with
payment to ICMAD. The cost for an
apostille certificate is $195. If you are
exporting to a country that requires U.S.
Department of State authentication prior
to embassy approval, the cost is $345,
which includes the expedited service
through our courier. Both fees include
shipping and authentication costs.
Q: How long will it take
to receive a completed
certificate?
A: It depends on each country’s
requirements. A significant number
of countries have signed the
“CONVENTION ABOLISHING THE
REQUIREMENT OF LEGALISATION
FOR FOREIGN PUBLIC DOCUMENTS,”
known as the Hague Convention, which
streamlines the document authentication
process. For those countries, a
document called an Apostille can be
obtained from the state Secretary of
State’s office. This takes approximately
three weeks. For countries requiring U.S.
Department of State certification prior
to embassy approval, in most cases our
COFS | ICMAD | Beauty Reference Guide | 2015
expedited service has reduced the time
to approximately four to five weeks.
Q: Once I receive my
completed Certificate of Free
Sale, can I begin to send my
products overseas?
A: It is very unlikely that a certified
Certificate of Free Sale is the only
document needed to begin exporting.
Most countries have some type of
registration procedure, and a number
of countries now follow the EU model,
by requiring some type of registration
or notification. As stated on the FDA
website, “it is your responsibility to
assure that your products comply with
regulations in the destination countries.
Significant differences exist among
different countries.”

import/export requirements, go

ICMAD
Education
Mission: Education
To fulfill ICMAD’s continuing mission to
educate entrepreneurial companies in the
cosmetic and personal care industries,
over the years the association has
created a number of offerings.
Beginning with ICMAD’s very first
FDA Cosmetic Regulations Workshop
in Florida in 1983, we have invited
government officials and the most
authoritative experts in our industry to
respond to questions about compliance
with regulations and to offer technical
information to help beauty companies
prosper.
In 1983, the FDA had “done several
workshops in the food area but never
anything in the cosmetics area,”
according to the FDA spokesperson
who was involved in developing the
seminar. ICMAD was chosen to create
this event because of its focus on small
and mid-sized cosmetic entrepreneurial
companies.
The format is continually being updated
in response to requests from member
companies for expert assessments on
the latest issues that have captured the
attention of consumers, regulators and
industry.
and personal care products from many
industry sources. It contains more than
75 links to foreign and domestic sites and
additional materials in an easy-to-find
format, including articles, documents,
presentations and whitepapers.
In 2012, ICMAD created a new online
education initiative to inform members
in greater detail on specific topics.
To date, more than 30 webinars have
been presented, on topics ranging from
domestic and international regulations
to business development advice, brand
marketing, import/export and labeling
assistance. Many of these webinars
have been recorded and are available for
purchase.
For example, the site now offers the
latest batch of listed cosmetic ingredients
issued by China, the IARC monograph
for Titanium Dioxide and the ISO 22716
standard. New items are frequently added.
The library is searchable in several ways:
domestic or international topics, various
informational sources and the type of
information provided. Access to the
Online Reference Library is by annual
subscription.
A number of webinars can be found in
the ICMAD Online Cosmetic Reference
Library. The Library is a compilation of
accurate information about cosmetics
More than 30 years later ICMAD
continues to bring FDA staff and its own
experts to cosmetic entrepreneurs to
explain how to comply with the laws and
regulations governing the beauty industry.
The ICMAD Cosmetic Technical/
Regulatory Forum was developed in 2005
to provide a practical, more businessoriented follow-up to the ICMAD FDA
Cosmetic Regulations Workshop. It
also allowed ICMAD experts to provide
information on related topics, including
international regulatory requirements,
marketing data and business advice.

EU Program
ICMAD EU PROGRAM
ICMAD offers members the opportunity to market their products in
the European Union in cooperation with BIORIUS, which is ICMAD’s
endorsed partner for EU registration and legal representation. Together
we have developed a program for ICMAD members to comply with the
requirements of the EU’s cosmetic legislation: the EU PROGRAM.
This program offers both a Responsible Person, located in Belgium,
whose address can be used on your packaging (a requirement for
importing products in the EU), and can help you prepare your Product
Information File, which stays readily available for European authorities at
the address stated on your packaging.
For a yearly program fee (in addition to your ICMAD membership), ICMAD
members can use BIORIUS’s EU address in Manage, Belgium, where
documents are confidentially and safely stored. BIORIUS can also provide
additional services to help companies comply with EU, Canadian, ASEAN,
Chinese, Russian and U.S. regulations.
Members participating in the EU program should be aware that product
registration in the EU may be easier with BIORIUS (www.biorius.com).
Compliance with all parts of the new EU Cosmetic Regulation is required
and noncompliance can result in fines, mandatory recalls or prevention of
future importation.

ColorMetrics is a hair color company with
a mission: Color between colorings without
harsh chemicals.
Permanent hair color is not permanent.
Gray roots grow and become visible
within two weeks. Permanent color fades
every time hair is washed or is exposed to
the sun. TouchBack solves the problem
by adding temporary color between
permanent colorings.
TouchBack’s patented formulas bond
seamlessly to permanent hair color, yet
contain no ammonia, peroxide or sulfates.
There is no mixing, no rub off, no powdery
residue…and no airborne particles on
clothing or skin.
ColorMetrics’ products:
• TouchBack PRO and TouchBack
MARKER – for instant gray root
coverage with a Marker applicator.
• ColorMark PRO and TouchBack WAND
– for instant gray root coverage with a
Wand applicator.
• TouchBack Color-Depositing Shampoo
and Color-Depositing Conditioner –
instantly add back vibrant color and
shine.
• TouchBack BrowMarker – brow color
that bonds, lasts all day and won’t
rub off.
• Streekers – hot colors for cool hair in
bright shades that wash out easily but
look like permanent hair color.

Information for Importers
FDA often receives questions about
requirements for importing cosmetics
into this country. The following are some
commonly asked questions and our
responses.
How does FDA monitor
imports?
Can FDA answer my questions
about U.S. Customs?
Are all imported cosmetics
sampled and examined?
Do imported and domestically
produced cosmetics need to
meet the same requirements?
Is it necessary to receive FDA
approval before importing
cosmetics?
Do I need to register with FDA
in order to import cosmetics?
What are the international
differences in the definitions of
cosmetics and drugs?
What are some of the reasons
cosmetics offered for import
are refused entry into the
United States?
What ingredients are
prohibited or restricted?
Are “natural” or “organic”
cosmetics required to receive
certification?
What are the labeling
requirements for cosmetics?
58
How does FDA monitor imports?
FDA works closely with U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to monitor
imports. Imported cosmetics are subject
to examination by CBP at the time of
entry. Foreign cosmetics that appear
to be adulterated or misbranded may
be refused entry into the United States.
They must be brought into compliance,
destroyed, or re-exported. Import
refusals of cosmetics are listed on FDA’s
website and are updated monthly.
Can FDA answer my questions about
U.S. Customs requirements?
No. You will need to contact U.S.
Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) directly to learn what Customs
requirements apply to your imports.
Useful resources on the CBP website
include, for example, “Importing into the
United States: A Guide for Commercial
Importers.”
Are all imported cosmetics sampled
and examined?
Not all cosmetics are inspected or
sampled upon entry into this country.
In order to focus inspection efforts
most efficiently, FDA issues Import
Alerts to advise inspectors of trends
in violations. Among the products
addressed in Import Alerts are cosmetictype products marketed with therapeutic
claims that cause them to be considered
unapproved new drugs under the law,
cosmetics that are adulterated because
of microbial contamination, failure
to meet U.S. requirements for color
additives, and bulk shipments of highrisk bovine tissue from BSE (bovine
spongiform encephalopathy) countries.
For a complete list, see Import Alerts for
Industry: Cosmetics.
However, examination of imported
cosmetics is not limited to the types of
products specified in Import Alerts. Also,
the fact that a product has not been
detained previously does not protect it
from being detained in the future, if it
appears to be in violation of U.S. law.
While not all imported products are
examined at the time of entry, those not
examined are still subject to all the legal
requirements of the laws we enforce.
Do imported and domestically
produced cosmetics need to meet the
same requirements?
Imported cosmetics must comply with
the same laws and regulations that
apply to those produced domestically.
Cosmetic products and ingredients
are not subject to premarket approval
by FDA, with the exception of color
additives. However, they must be safe for
consumers under labeled or customary
conditions of use, and they must be
properly labeled. Color additives must
be approved for the intended use; some
must be from batches certified by FDA.
Firms and individuals who manufacture
or market cosmetics are responsible
for ensuring that their products are in
compliance with U.S. law. To learn more,
see:
• FDA Authority Over Cosmetics
• Three Legal Concepts: Interstate
Commerce, Adulterated, and
Misbranded
• Is It a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? (Or Is
It Soap?)
• Cosmetic Labeling and Label Claims

• Guidance, Compliance and Regulatory

Is it necessary to receive FDA approval
before importing cosmetics?
Cosmetic products and ingredients
are not subject to premarket approval
by FDA, with the exception of color
additives. However, they must not be
adulterated or misbranded. This means
that they must be safe for consumers
under labeled or customary conditions of
use, and they must be properly labeled.

Cosmetic
Impor ters
With the exception of color additives and
those ingredients that are prohibited or
restricted by FDA regulations, a cosmetic
firm may use any ingredient, as long
as it does not cause the product to be
adulterated in any way. Companies and
individuals who manufacture or market
cosmetics have a legal responsibility for
the safety and labeling of their products.
Remember, however, that some “personal
care products” are drugs, or both
cosmetics and drugs, under U.S. law. If
your product is a drug under U.S. law, it
is subject to the requirements for drugs,
such as premarket approval. To learn
more, see “Is It a Cosmetic, a Drug, or
Both? (Or Is It Soap?).”
Do I need to register with FDA in order
to import cosmetics?
No. Firms importing products considered
to be solely cosmetics in the United
States are not required to register with
FDA, and a registration number is not
required for importing cosmetics into this
country. FDA encourages both domestic
and foreign cosmetic firms to register
their establishments and file Cosmetic
Product Ingredient Statements with our
Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program
(VCRP), but as its name indicates,
participation in this program is voluntary,
not mandatory. Please note that the
VCRP can only accept Cosmetic Product
Ingredient Statements for cosmetics that
are already on the market in the United
States (21 CFR 720.2).
If your products are drugs, or both
cosmetics and drugs, under U.S. law,
however, they are subject to requirements
for drug registration. Similarly, importers
of cosmetic ingredients that are also
classified as food products are required
to meet the registration requirements of
the Bioterrorism Act of 2002.
What are the international differences
in the definitions of cosmetics and
drugs?
Many countries define drugs and
cosmetics differently from the United
States. For example, in some countries,
sunscreens are regulated as cosmetics.
In the United States, they are regulated as
drugs. Hair restoration, skin protectant,
pain relief, anti-aging effects that involve
60
(cont.)
the structure or function of the skin, and
treatment of acne, dandruff, eczema,
or irritated skin are other examples of
claims that would cause products to be
regulated as drugs (or in some cases,
both cosmetics and drugs) in the United
States. Cosmetics and drugs are subject
to different requirements. To learn more
about the differences between cosmetics
and drugs under U.S. law, see “Is It
a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? (Or Is It
Soap?)” and the additional resources
listed on that page.
Drugs are regulated by FDA’s Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
Please direct questions about drugs to
CDER at CDERSmallBusiness@fda.hhs.
gov or druginfo@fda.hhs.gov.
What are some of the reasons
cosmetics offered for import are
refused entry into the United States?
A cosmetic may be refused entry into the
United States if it appears not to comply
with applicable U.S. laws and regulations
in any way. The following are just some
of the most common reasons:
• Ingredients or contaminants that cause
the product to be unsafe.
• Color additive violations: All color
additives must be approved by FDA
for the intended use; some must not
be used unless they are batch-certified
in FDA’s own laboratories. Misuse
of color additives makes a product
adulterated. To learn more, see “Color
Additives and Cosmetics” and the
additional resources listed on that
page.
• Prohibited and restricted ingredients:
Violating the restrictions on the use
of these substances makes a cosmetic
adulterated.
• Microbial contamination: Sterility is
not required for cosmetic products,
but microbial contamination can pose
a health hazard and therefore make a
product adulterated.
• Labeling violations, such as
deficiencies in the ingredient
declaration, or failure to include all
required labeling information in English
(or Spanish, in Puerto Rico).
• Claims that cause a product marketed
as a cosmetic to be subject to
regulation as a drug under U.S. law.
Remember, these are just some common
violations. Any violation of applicable U.S.
laws and related regulations may result in
a cosmetic being detained.
What ingredients are prohibited or
restricted?
If you are an importer, it is essential for
you to verify that the products you import
comply with regulations that prohibit or
restrict the use of certain ingredients.
The country of origin may not have
the same ingredient prohibitions and
restrictions as the United States. But
remember, any ingredient is prohibited
if it causes the finished cosmetic
product to be unsafe for consumers
under labeled or customary conditions
for use, even if there is no regulation
specifically prohibiting or restricting its
use in cosmetics. To learn more, see
“Ingredients Prohibited or Restricted by
FDA Regulations.”
Are “natural” or “organic” cosmetics
required to receive certification?
FDA does not define or regulate terms
such as “organic” and “natural.”
However, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) does regulate the
use of the term “organic” when used
in terms of agricultural ingredient
marketing. Questions about the use of
organic agricultural ingredients should
be directed to USDA. There are also
private organizations that certify “natural”
and other claims; however, these
organizations are in no way affiliated with
FDA.
Also, remember that all cosmetics
are required to be safe, regardless of
the sources of their ingredients. An
ingredient’s source does not determine
its safety. To learn more, see “‘Organic’
Cosmetics.”
What are the labeling requirements for
cosmetics?
To learn about cosmetic labeling, see
“Cosmetic Labeling and Label Claims”
and the additional resources listed on
that page, especially the “Cosmetic
Labeling Manual.” The following are some
of the more common labeling concerns
affecting importers:

Impor ters
Must all labeling be in English?
All required label information must be
in English. However, if the product is
marketed only in Puerto Rico, it must
be labeled in Spanish. If some labeling
information appears in another language,
all required label information must also
appear in that language.
Can common or usual names of
ingredients used in the country of
origin be used on cosmetic labels?
Under the Fair Packaging and Labeling
Act, ingredients must be identified by
their “common or usual names” in the
United States. Terms such as “aqua,”
“mel,” or “parfum” are permitted only in
parentheses following their common or
usual names in English, such as “water,”
“honey,” and “fragrance.”
Is INCI nomenclature acceptable for
identifying botanical ingredients?
INCI (International Nomenclature
Cosmetic Ingredient) names for botanical
ingredients typically use Latin names for
genus and species to identify botanical
(cont.)
ingredients. U.S. regulations require the
use of common or usual names. Latin
terms may be included parenthetically
following the common or usual name
of an ingredient. Example: Aloe (Aloe
Barbadensis) Extract. See “FDA
Response to CTFA Requests Regarding
Harmonization of Ingredient Names
(Color Additives, Denatured Alcohol, and
Plant Extracts).”
Are C.I. numbers acceptable for
identifying color additives on cosmetic
labeling?
C.I. numbers are not acceptable
on product labeling unless they are
preceded by the color additive names
accepted in the U.S. followed by the C.I.
number in parentheses. In addition, C.I.
numbers do not indicate FDA approval
or FDA color certification. To learn more,
see “Color Additives and Cosmetics” and
the additional resources listed on that
page.
I want to import cosmetics without
labeling, and label them in the United
States before marketing them. Is this
permitted?
There is an exemption from ingredient
labeling that may apply in such cases.
Bulk cosmetics do not have to comply
with the cosmetic labeling regulations if
the person introducing the shipment is the
operator of the establishment where the
powder is going to be repackaged and
labeled, or, in a case where someone else
is going to introduce the shipment into
the United States, if a written agreement
signed by the establishment operator
is available for customs officials at the
time the shipment is offered for import.
The labeling exemption will be void,
however, if the product is moved from
the establishment without the required
labeling. For complete information, see the
regulation at 21 CFR 701.9.
