## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fda-cosmetic-inci-mocra-label-checker-ebc8c1a7
```

Example prompt: Can you check my skincare product label for FDA compliance — I want to know if my INCI ingredient order is correct, whether any of my claims like 'reduces fine lines and repairs skin barrier' trigger drug classification, and what panels I need on the label?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, automated pre-check of cosmetic product label copy and INCI ingredient ordering against FDA 21 CFR 701/740 and MoCRA requirements. Ideal for ecommerce sellers, brand compliance teams, or product formulation agents who need to screen claims and label panels before launch without engaging legal counsel for every iteration. Best for skincare, haircare, fragrance, and color cosmetic categories specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'category' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid category enum value (not one of skincare/haircare/fragrance/color_cosmetic) causes rejection
- Very long or malformed claims text may not be fully analyzed
- Service may return stale regulatory information if not recently updated (check 'as_of' field)
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request

## How this service works

FDA cosmetic labeling (21 CFR 701/740) & MoCRA adverse-event contact / INCI declaration order checker. Pass ?category=skincare|haircare|fragrance|color_cosmetic (default skincare) & optional ?claims=<marketing text>. Returns required PDP/info panels, >1% vs <=1% INCI rules, drug-claim red flags, compliant rewrites, and MoCRA checklist. Educational reference only; not legal advice.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object including: required PDP and information panel elements, INCI ingredient ordering rules (>1% vs ≤1% thresholds), flagged drug-claim signals found in submitted marketing text, compliant rewrite suggestions for risky claims, a MoCRA compliance checklist, category-specific warnings (e.g. for fragrance, color cosmetics), regulatory basis citations, and a disclaimer noting this is educational reference only.
