Osmosis : FDA Sends Warning Letter

Osmosis has received a warning letter from the FDA following the inspection of the company’s manufacturing facility between January 5-13, 2023. 
The FDA also reviewed product labels and the company’s website for products such as Osmosis Skin Perfection Elixir.  
Both the review and inspection revealed violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and FDA regulations. (letter details)
 
According to the FDA, the Osmosis Skin Perfection Elixir, Sugar Detox Elixir and Osmosis Elevate products are intended for use in diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation or prevention of disease and are drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the act [21U.S.C.321(g)(1)(B)].

At-Issue Claims Made:

  • “Renowned for its ability to… reduce inflammation…”
  • “… detoxifies eczema, psoriasis, and inflamed skin.”

Osmosis’s Skin Clarifier, Recovery, Regenerate, Immune Defense Elixir, and Elevate products are misbranded dietary supplements within the meaning of section 403 of the act [21 U.S.C. 343] due to the fact that they did not comply with the labeling requirements for dietary supplements.
