Doubt you’ll have obvious mold growing on your consumers’ faces. Perhaps mold/bacterial contamination of your product.
Food quality ingredients often fail to meet cosmetic microbiological standards.

pH?

Does ACA charge for certification?

You can find info for small companies on the net - e.g. https://www.modernsoapmaking.com/blog/understanding-the-2022-united-states-cosmetic-regulation-changes-with-mocra
To your immediate question
small businesses are fully exempt from facility registration and product listing submission if their average gross annual sales for the previous 3-year period is less than $1,000,000 and do not make any of the following:
- cosmetics that come in contact with mucus membranes of the eye
- cosmetics that are injected
- cosmetics that are intended for internal use
- cosmetics that intend to alter the appearance for more than 24 hours

Washed, there is no issue

Very doubtful you’re not encountering NaOH per se.
-
Sorry - very doubtful that you ARE encountering….

No
-
what is your package?
-
Suggest you look also at similar products from major guys on the market
-
The difference is prob not significant, esp as you’re adding more via ECT.
-
How much will your formula accommodate?
-
how much?
-
What’s the preservative?

Thanks Mark.
Sure hope you guys make it fee for necessary services rather than the predatory piece of the action - ala a bunch we all know too well.

Is aloe the only source of water? Do you see this as oil in water or water in oil emulsion?
Preservation of the finished product is your responsibility - not your supplier’s.
If you determine no further preservation is needed, you’ll need to add the supplier’s preservative (system) top your ingredient label.’

There is no “sodium hydrochloric acid” and hydrochloric acid like NaOH is ionic so not the parent compound in water but the ions H and Cl. Not much use in cosmetics but perhaps to adjust pH and that at low levels.
Glycolic acid? This is not relevant to either of the above.
-
No. You should see it far down on the ingredient label and a little sodium will not be an issue.
Maybe the pH of the products bothers you. Look for that on SDS documents.
-
Right - they would not approach it without a wellthought out positioning/strategy. Need to see how FDA responds.
-
Think you’ll looking at the regulators more than the clinicians.
-
Wonder of just “100%” is enough

maybe they thought e-wax meant ear wax.

Has it passed challenge?

Good perspective. To OP’s question
More hexanediol. I don’t see it in the ingredient list - to that, please use chemical or INCI names. Maybe missed a commercial name.
For shampoos/surfactants - rinse-off products, chloromethyl isothiazolinone is more traditional esp with EDTA and benzoate*. Phenoxy/EHG/Benzoate/EDTA is prob pretty effective. Unless you’ve resources to qualify a diol, suggest you not chase it.
* not for fungi, they rarely cause issues in surfactant products, but as co-preservative, esp. to mitigate adaptation to the primary. Na benzoate serves this well and is effective beyond it’s pKa when combined with many surfactants (i.e. demonstrable efficacy up to pH neutrality).

You’ve CHA and piroctone is insoluble.
