Who regulates the promotion and advertising of cosmetics?

  1. FDA

  2. FTC

  3. EPA

  4. USDA

The correct answer is: FTC

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), they are responsible for regulating the promotion and advertising of cosmetics in the US. The FTC ensures that cosmetic companies are not making false or misleading claims about their products, and enforces regulations on ingredients and labeling. The FDA (choice A) is primarily responsible for regulating the manufacturing and safety of cosmetics, while the EPA (choice C) focuses on regulating the environmental impact of cosmetics. The USDA (choice D) is responsible for regulating agricultural products, not cosmetics. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect options for regulating the promotion and advertising of cosmetics.
