Illustrated example using actual scan results. Fictional product and supplied details; not a recording or a timing claim.
This example shows supported text corrections. Artwork checks were not assessed: no print PDF was analyzed. Formula safety and other checks still require review.
Check before the expensive commitment. CPGShield is an automated preflight and product-readiness system: it helps identify covered issues and organize remediation; it does not provide FDA approval, legal approval, safety certification, or guaranteed retailer acceptance.
A formula, claim, ingredient declaration, label, artwork file, or required document may look manageable while the product is still editable. If the problem is found only after artwork approval, printing, manufacturing, shipment, or retailer submission, the company may have to repeat work it already paid for.
CPGShield is most useful when you have enough product information to review and need a repeatable process, but do not want every routine check to begin with a consulting project.
Your brand will get the most value when:
Use a different starting point when:
The point is not another folder or a vague compliance score. CPGShield connects the versions being reviewed, runs covered checks, and turns the result into prioritized remediation work.
The work is easy to separate and difficult to prove:
The product decision stays connected:
CPGShield handles repeatable screening, supported corrections, version tracking, and review preparation so your team and outside professionals can focus on questions that require interpretation, testing, or scientific judgment.
CPGShield connects product scope, formula versions, safety and manufacturing records, claims, label text, print artwork, selling requirements, release, and follow-up.
A label-only tool may be enough when you only need a one-time text review.
CPGShield runs covered rules, separates blockers from missing or unverified information, and keeps results tied to the version checked.
Shared documents may be enough when your team already knows every requirement and only needs a place to record it.
CPGShield is available on demand for repeatable checks, supported fixes, and organized handoff packages. It does not provide legal advice, scientific conclusions, or professional sign-off.
Use a qualified professional whenever the decision depends on interpretation, safety evidence, testing, or facts the software cannot verify.
CPGShield starts with one product and a guided U.S. cosmetics workflow, without requiring a broad company-wide implementation.
An enterprise platform may be the better fit when you need deep procurement, manufacturing, quality, and global portfolio operations across many departments.
Work in order or start where you are. Each step keeps the supporting records, decisions, open questions, and exact versions together, so an update does not erase earlier work.
CPGShield keeps the process clear without treating missing information or an unfinished professional review as a pass.

Not every mistake causes every outcome. Depending on the issue and when it is found, a company may face several of these consequences at once. A pre-print check is inexpensive compared with repeating packaging, inventory, launch, or retail work.
Artwork may need redesign. Printed labels, cartons, containers, or other packaging may be unusable, require emergency relabeling or over-labeling, or trigger expedited reprints and rush-production charges. Finished inventory may have to be held, reworked, repackaged, returned, destroyed, or sold through fewer channels.
An ingredient restriction or retailer policy may force a formula change. That change can require another formula review, supplier-document update, test, ingredient declaration, artwork revision, or production run.
Correction work can delay launch and cause a brand to miss a seasonal, promotional, or retailer window. Revenue may be lost while inventory cannot be sold or a listing remains unavailable.
A product may be rejected, require resubmission, lose a listing, or be unable to enter a desired retail channel. A marketplace may request compliance documents the company has not prepared.
Product wording may create unintended drug or other regulatory implications. Warning letters, retailer objections, or marketplace actions may require time-sensitive investigation, correction, and response.
Late correction can add designer, printer, manufacturer, consultant, and attorney expense. It can also consume founder and staff time coordinating regulatory personnel, suppliers, manufacturers, designers, distributors, and retailers, and may damage credibility with those partners or investors.
Conflicting formula, ingredient, claim, label, artwork, and document versions make it harder to know what was reviewed. When the underlying issue is serious, the company could face legal, regulatory, corrective-action, recall, or enforcement exposure.

See the other example labelsCPGShield brings covered federal labeling, state, ingredient, claims, artwork, document, and selected retailer checks into the same version-specific Product File. Coverage depends on the information supplied and the rules currently supported.
Claims screening helps identify covered cosmetic-versus-drug and other wording risks, plus claims and linked-evidence gaps, before the wording reaches packaging or a product listing. A qualified reviewer must still decide whether the evidence is adequate.
Covered ingredient restrictions, hazard screening, California Proposition 65 name matching, formula-to-label comparison, and missing supplier or raw-material information can surface a formula or ingredient-declaration problem earlier. These checks are not a toxicological or formula-safety assessment.
Label review checks covered federal FDA labeling requirements with sources. A print-ready PDF can be measured for supported type-size, boldness, contrast, and placement requirements; unsupported or unreadable properties remain unverified.
Document inventory highlights missing or outdated product records. Product Files organize covered MoCRA readiness obligations, supplier files, safety support, facility details, manufacturing-practice questions, owners, and deadlines; CPGShield does not file with FDA or certify completeness.
Applicable checks across currently supported states and selected retailer programs help identify covered ingredient, warning, claim, and program conflicts before a retailer submission. The result does not guarantee acceptance or cover every selling requirement.
Version-specific findings, tasks, supported corrections, rescans, reports, and audit history preserve what was checked and what changed. Release blockers, missing information, and professional-review questions remain visible in the readiness record and handoff package.

Manage your product in one guided workspace, from the first label draft through supported fixes, records, release decisions, and reports. Start free, work at your pace, and see the sources behind each check. Drug-label compliance is not evaluated.
Paste your label text, upload the PDF, or photograph the package and let the reader pull the text off it. CPGShield screens it against the checks applicable to the submitted text and selected scope: federal FDA labeling, MoCRA, state ingredient bans, Prop 65, PFAS restrictions, FTC claims standards, and the published clean standards of the retailers you sell to.
Your free scan shows the verdict, issue counts, severities, affected categories, and checks not completed. Unlock that label once to review detailed findings with citations, approve supported corrections, receive detailed results on future rescans, create tasks, and export reports. Connect it to a free Product File to keep the surrounding records tied to the right versions.
Label compliance is not one problem you solve once. It is a problem that returns with each new product, reformulation, and every new state law that takes effect.
Federal regulations, state requirements and retailer programs come from different sources. CPGShield brings covered checks and their citations together so you can spend less time searching and more time working through your label.
CPGShield combines covered label checks, supported text corrections and downloadable reports. Use it alongside the formula records, testing and professional review your product needs.
Start when you are ready. Get clear next steps. Keep the evidence with the work.
Paste label text or upload a photo and review the extracted text. Get an issue summary from covered checks without booking a demo or entering a card. Print-PDF measurement uses a separate check credit.
PASS means no issues were found in the checks completed on that scan. Review unresolved and not-checked items separately. That is a screening result, not a compliance determination, and responsibility for the label stays yours.
Spend one label credit to permanently unlock that label's detailed findings, guided text fixes, detailed results on future rescans, tasks, corrected-label and report PDFs, and rejection-response preparation. Review changes and unresolved items before sharing your work.
Each violation names its source: a CFR section, a state statute, or a retailer’s published standard. The actual citation, quoted and explained in the app, so you can see exactly what the requirement says without hunting through a government website.
Findings are split into what blocks a print run and what is a judgment call, grouped by the authority behind them: federal, state, retailer, ingredients, claims, and California Prop 65.
Every scan lists every check it performed: which checks found issues, which passed, which did not apply to your product, and which could not be completed from label text alone. When something falls outside what a text scan can determine, we say so instead of reporting it as a pass.
Review suggested claim rewrites, supply missing product facts, and apply supported label-text corrections in one workflow. Rescan the result and export corrected copy for your designer. Formula changes and unresolved checks remain yours to review.
Review the supported changes CPGShield can make and the items that still need your decision. Approve the changes you want, review the revised copy, and scan it again.
Start a label structured to the requirements we encode, instead of retrofitting one. Useful when the formula exists but the packaging copy does not.
The rebuilt label copy as a file, so the corrected wording reaches your designer as a document rather than a paste from a browser tab.
Export any scan as a report you can hand to a buyer, a broker, or a compliance team. Written in two versions: a retailer version mapped to the program checklist your buyer works from, and an attorney version carrying the sources and findings behind the screening result.
A requirement by requirement view across states and retailer programs, so you can see where one product compares across covered states and programs.
When a buyer or a retailer’s compliance team rejects an unlocked label, paste their notice. CPGShield maps recognized issues to covered requirements, drafts an editable appeal letter or Amazon Plan of Action, and lists supporting documents indicated by those requirements. Included with that Label Review.
Paste your ingredient list and see every restriction we hold for each ingredient, grouped by jurisdiction. Useful before you commit to a formula rather than after.
Test a claim before it goes on the label or into an ad. It screens for drug claims, unsupported language, and phrasing that regulators and retailers reject.
Upload a print-ready PDF and we measure what text cannot show: type size, boldness, contrast, and panel placement, against the requirements that carry a number.
Browse the rules and sources behind CPGShield checks. Your label findings include the sources behind them; some separate Rule Library details use one check credit to unlock.
Turn findings into assigned tasks and keep formula, document, selling, release, and after-launch work visible.

CPGShield exists to make regulatory clarity something a growing brand can reach. Cosmetic labeling in the United States is governed by an expanding patchwork, federal FDA requirements layered over a widening field of state ingredient laws, layered again over retailer standards that move faster than either. Most founders meet that patchwork for the first time when something has already gone wrong: a delisted product, a rejected submission, a print run that has to be scrapped. We built CPGShield to move that moment earlier, back to the point where a change is still cheap and still yours to make.
Our approach is to encode the rules that govern a label, and then to show our work. Every check is tied to a specific CFR section, statute, or published retailer standard, and every finding names the authority behind it, so nothing arrives as a verdict you cannot trace. We aim to match the shape of the law rather than the shape of a sales sheet: where a legislature writes a class-level ban, we screen the whole class, and where regulators enumerate substances, we screen them by name. That is why, alongside our total rule count, the table on our Coverage & Methodology page reports what each statute reaches: a single class rule can cover an entire chemical family, and counting it as "one" would tell you the opposite of the truth.
What we are building toward is a working layer between a brand's label and the rules that apply to it, maintained continuously as those rules change, because they do, constantly. That page is part of that intent: coverage stated plainly, sources cited openly, and the edges of our scope drawn where they actually fall, with a route forward for each one. CPGShield is a screening and drafting tool designed to support your compliance process and the professionals who advise you. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for qualified review.
