Skin moisturizers, fragrances, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and face makeup preparations, shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, toothpastes, and deodorants are examples. Some, on the other hand, are classified as medicines. They must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they can be sold in the United States. To date, the FDA has not banned or removed any products from the market because they were found to contain toxic chemicals. However, it does review new drugs and medical devices to make sure they are safe for consumption or use on the skin. If a company wants their product labeled as "toothpaste" they must apply for FDA approval. So, yes, toothpaste is FDA regulated. The agency also reviews existing drugs and medical devices to make sure they are still safe and effective. If there are changes made to an already-approved product, the manufacturer must submit new information for FDA approval. The agency also requires that manufacturers keep track of adverse effects and side effects of their products. This is important because many people assume products that are on the market today are safe, but this is not always the case.
