Cosmetic DUNS Request Assistance Services
Cosmetic companies that manufacture or process products distributed in the United States are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) as part of cosmetic regulatory submissions under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA).
The FDA currently recognizes the DUNS Number (Data Universal Numbering System) as an acceptable UFI for cosmetic facilities.
What Is a DUNS Number?
A DUNS Number is a 9-digit unique identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) that is used to identify each physical facility location.
For cosmetic companies:
Each manufacturing or processing facility must have its own DUNS Number
The DUNS Number does not replace FDA registrations or product listings
It allows the FDA to verify that a cosmetic facility is legitimate and traceable
Why a DUNS Number Is Required for Cosmetics
Under MoCRA, cosmetic facility registration requires a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI). The FDA uses DUNS Numbers to:
Verify facility identity and location
Strengthen supply chain transparency
Support inspections and regulatory oversight
Improve cosmetic safety monitoring
Failure to obtain or properly list a DUNS Number may result in:
Delays in MoCRA facility registration
Rejection of cosmetic submissions
Increased regulatory and compliance risk
