Many products do not need FDA approval before they are sold in the U.S., especially those that are not designed to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent diseases and do not change the structure or function of the body. Examples include:
Beauty products such as makeup, moisturizers, shampoos, and perfumes.
Dietary supplements like vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
Low-risk medical devices, including manual stethoscopes and certain types of bandages.
