Cosmetics echinacea

The regulation of Echinacea products in the United States would fall under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). In the United States, statutory 403 (a)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits labeling that is false or misleading. Under DSHEA, a structure/-function claim can be made, provided the claim meets the criteria set forth in statutory 403(r)(6). Structure/function claims are permissible if a specific disease is not targeted, unless reviewed by FDA. A structure/function claim such as supports the immune system would be acceptable whereas alleviates the common cold or flu would not be acceptable for Echinacea because the claim targets a specific disease state (i.e., cold or flu).
