March 24, 2022 - FDA monitors the use of nanotechnology and the use of nanoscale materials in cosmetics. FDA also conducts and keeps abreast of related research.

June 24, 2014 - In July of 2007, FDA issued a report prepared by its Nanotechnology Task Force (“Task Force”). The Task Force report presented an assessment of scientific and regulatory considerations relating to the safety and effectiveness of FDA-regulated products containing nanomaterials and made recommendations in light of these considerations (Ref. 2). Specifically, with respect to cosmetic products, the Task Force recommended that we issue guidance describing safety issues that manufacturers should consider to ensure that cosmetic products made with nanomaterials are safe and not adulterated.

March 23, 2018 - Some FDA regulated products, such as dietary supplements (except certain new dietary ingredients), cosmetics (except color additives), and food (except food or color additives) are not subject to mandatory premarket review. In these cases, FDA relies on publicly available or voluntarily submitted information, adverse event reporting (where applicable), and on post-market surveillance activities, to provide oversight. Where nanotechnology applications are involved, FDA encourages manufacturers to consult with the agency before taking their products to market.

April 1, 2019 - The FDA has published several nanotechnology-specific guidance documents instructing industry on agency policy.25,26 Topics include whether an FDA-regulated product involves an application of nanotechnology, drug and biological products that contain nanomaterials, and safety of nanomaterials in cosmetics and food products.26 Acknowledging that nanotechnology “poses questions regarding the adequacy and application of our regulatory authorities,” the FDA’s Nanotechnology Task Force, assembled in August 2006 at the direction of the FDA commissioner, was asked to determine appropriate regula

October 31, 2024 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates a wide range of products, including foods, cosmetics, drugs, devices, veterinary products, and tobacco products some of which may utilize nanotechnology or contain nanomaterials. Nanotechnology allows scientists to create, explore, and manipulate materials measured in nanometers (billionths of a meter).

March 23, 2018 - Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that has the potential for use in a broad array of FDA-regulated products, including medical products, foods and cosmetics. Nanomaterials, developed using nanotechnology, are measured in nanometers — equal to about one-billionth of a meter — so small that they cannot be seen with a regular microscope.

In the USA, the FDA governs the use of nanotechnology in cosmetics [15] through the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) [98], which regulates a wide range of products besides cosmetics, including drugs and food [18]. The FDA has created the NNI and the Nanotechnology Task Force (NTF) ...

While the same standards of safety, efficacy, and quality apply to products containing nanomaterial as to other drug products, nanotechnology is relatively new in the field of medicine, and this guidance is intended to help FDA and industry think through any unknowns that may arise.

Nanotechnology can be used in a broad array of FDA-regulated products, such as human drug products, including those that are biological products.3 Nanotechnology may be used to create drug products in which nanomaterials (as explained in section II of this document), serve a variety of functions, as active ingredients4 or inactive ingredients, including carriers loaded with an active ingredient.

The packaging must incorporate inserts, booklets, risers, or some other printed or data associated with the product (Cosmetic Labeling Guide, 2015). All of the essential guidelines should be written in the English language and should be placed within the label in such a way that they can be easily noticed and observed by the consumer [7]. In 2006, the FDA established an interior nanotechnology team to manage nanoparticle-based items.

Having just attended a nanotech conference in Washington in June, it was interesting to note that the FDA issued a number of guidelines within the same period for companies using nanotechnology in products regulated by the government.
