      Ep. 54- “MoCRA & Must-Know Regulations for Beauty Brands in 2026” with Mo Lovelace, Cosmetic Regulatory Affairs Professional and CEO at Steinberg & Associates, Inc.
      Jan 26 2026
      In this episode of Product & Packaging Powerhouse, Megan Young Gamble talks with regulatory specialist Mo Lovelace , co-CEO of Steinberg & Associates, about the evolving landscape of cosmetic product regulations. They discuss the impact of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MOCRA), which now mandates FDA registration for both products and manufacturing facilities, no matter the brand size. Mo Lovelace breaks down responsibilities brands have for reporting adverse events, labeling compliance, and the significance of ingredient bans at both federal and state levels (especially California’s new requirements). The conversation emphasizes the importance of regulatory specialists in product development, best practices around documentation, and how brands, big or small, should prioritize compliance to prevent costly mistakes. Plus, there’s practical advice on substantiating marketing claims and tips for surviving regulatory changes in 2026. The episode wraps with a fun rapid-fire round exploring Mo Lovelace’s passion for tennis and family life.Affiliate & Other Links:[Megan Young Gamble Links][AFFILIATE] Ready to crank out your content in as little as 5 minutes?

When you’re kind to people along the way, that energy comes back to you when you start.Don’t fear change. You don’t want to look the same in all your photographs, you want to have a wild time.We need to return to just the empathetic, human way of shopping.Use the money that you accumulate to pay it forward somewhere… it’s important to do that quietly and often.
