The U.S. Congress creates laws and instructs federal agencies like the Food and Drug Administration to carry them out and regulate industries ("U.S. Food and Drug Administration"). There are 2 major laws, enacted in 1938 and 1966, which govern the cosmetics industry: the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) (Cosmeticsinfo.org).
