    For a how long we must keep the records for an cosmetic product?

     Batch production control records, which should include: 
    - Documentation of all production steps (for example, processing, handling, transferring,
    holding, and filling) 
    - In-process sampling, controlling, and adjusting steps
    - Batch and finished product lot or control numbers 
    - The finished products control status – accepted or rejected 
    We must kept un year after the expiration date?
    Were I find this? in where laws, regulations?
    Thank you!

    Hi! Mihaela,
                      It is recommended to keep your records two years after the expiration date of your product. Everything mentioned in your question fall under GMP (Good manufacturing practices), usually it is more complex than that, but seems to me that you have a very good idea where to start. Check the following FDA link about this;
    http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Cosmetics/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/UCM358287.pdf

    If you need some help creating Batch records or any GMP related, let me know.

    regards, Javier
