SGS understands the unique regulatory challenges faced by sunscreen and personal care manufacturers. Sunscreens are classified as combination OTC and cosmetic products, meaning they must comply with both FDA cosmetic regulations and stringent OTC drug requirements under 21 CFR Parts 210/211. In addition, companies must align with WHO Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure product quality, safety, and global market access.

SGS is proud to bring its expertise to the FLSCC Sunscreen Symposium, where innovation meets compliance. With decades of experience in GMP audits, certifications, and regulatory consulting, SGS partners with companies to help navigate evolving requirements, reduce compliance risks, and strengthen consumer trust.

Services for sunscreen and OTC/cosmetic manufacturers include:

• GMP Audits & Certifications – Independent verification that your facilities and processes meet international standards.

• Regulatory Compliance Support – Guidance to meet FDA requirements for labeling, safety substantiation and product listing.

• Training Programs – Equipping your team with the knowledge to implement and maintain GMP effectively.

• Documentation & Process Reviews – Ensuring robust recordkeeping, hygiene and quality systems.

• Second-Party Supplier Audits – Custom programs to verify quality and compliance across your supply chain.

By working with SGS, companies can confidently prepare for regulatory inspections, avoid costly recalls, and demonstrate compliance to brand partners and global retailers. SGS experts also provide pre-audits, helping organizations identify and address gaps ahead of formal audits — minimizing findings and ensuring smoother outcomes.

At this year’s Sunscreen Symposium, SGS is here to share insights, answer questions, and show how its global network can support your compliance journey. Whether you’re launching a new product, preparing for an audit, or entering new markets, SGS is your trusted partner for quality, safety and regulatory confidence.
