Looking for baby wipes for the US market with the right regulatory considerations? Quanzhou Zhiyue Biotechnology Co., Ltd. provides OEM and private label baby wipes manufacturing for importers, distributors and baby care brands.
We work with customers to develop customized baby cleansing wipes, including nonwoven material selection, liquid formulation, sheet specifications and retail packaging. For US-bound projects, product classification, ingredient review, labeling and applicable FDA requirements should be considered as part of the product development process.
We are a China-based manufacturer, not an FDA agency or certification body. We do not describe ordinary cosmetic baby wipes as FDA-approved products.
Understanding FDA Requirements for Baby Wipes
The regulatory classification of a wipe depends on its intended use and the claims made for the product. Baby wipes marketed for cleansing or moisturizing the skin are generally regulated as cosmetics by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Cosmetic products and ingredients generally do not require FDA premarket approval, with limited exceptions such as certain color additives. However, cosmetics must be safe for their intended and customary use and comply with applicable labeling and regulatory requirements.
Important distinction: FDA facility registration and cosmetic product listing are not FDA approval. A registration number or product listing number must not be presented as proof that FDA has approved a baby wipes product.
Buyers can review the FDA's official information about disposable wipes and cosmetic facility registration and product listing.
Cosmetic Baby Wipes and Drug Claims
Ordinary baby cleansing wipes are generally cosmetic products when they are intended to clean or moisturize the skin. Product claims can affect how a wipe is regulated, so the intended use and wording on packaging, websites and promotional materials should be reviewed carefully.
Baby Cleansing Wipes
Wipes intended for everyday skin cleansing or moisturizing are generally regulated as cosmetics. Their ingredients, safety and labeling should be reviewed for the intended use.
Diaper Rash Treatment Claims
Wipes promoted to treat or prevent diaper rash may fall under drug regulations. These claims should not be added to an ordinary cosmetic baby wipes product without the appropriate regulatory assessment.
Antibacterial or Germ-Killing Claims
Claims about killing germs on skin can change the regulatory classification. The applicable requirements depend on the specific active ingredients, intended use and claims.
Customized Baby Care Products
For a standard cleansing product, keep the product purpose and claims consistent with its intended cosmetic use and supporting product information.
MoCRA: Facility Registration and Cosmetic Product Listing
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) introduced additional requirements for cosmetic products marketed in the United States. Depending on the applicable requirements and exemptions, these include facility registration and cosmetic product listing.
- Facility registration: Facilities that manufacture or process cosmetic products for the US market may be required to register with FDA.
- Biennial renewal: Required facility registrations generally need to be renewed every two years.
- Product listing: The responsible person for a marketed cosmetic product is generally required to list the product with FDA and provide applicable updates.
- Ingredient information: Product listing includes the cosmetic product's ingredient information.
- Safety substantiation: The responsible person must ensure and maintain adequate substantiation of cosmetic product safety as required by applicable law.
MoCRA includes certain exemptions, including exemptions for some small businesses, subject to statutory conditions and exceptions. Whether a particular manufacturer, product or responsible person qualifies should be confirmed with a qualified US regulatory professional.
FDA does not issue certificates confirming compliance with cosmetic facility registration or product listing. These submissions should not be marketed as FDA approval or FDA certification.

- Review the intended use and product claims before finalizing the product concept.
- Confirm the complete ingredient list and the suitability of ingredients for the intended use.
