A house line is a promise to your clients — and a regulated product. These guides cover the licences, federal duties, labels, testing, and insurance that sit behind a legal retail shelf. Every guide is checked against official sources, and the state-rules table links its source in every row.

STATE RULES
What are the state rules for selling skincare in your med spa?
Which licence covers retail skincare in your spa, state by state — licensing body, separate retail licence, and sales-tax permit, each row sourced to the official state page.
The compliance tools: the state-rules table — licensing body, separate retail licence, and sales-tax permit for every state and the District of Columbia, each row sourced — and the MoCRA checklist, which walks through the duties that sit with the brand owner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Compliance hub
Do I need a licence to sell skincare in my spa?
In most states, yes — the licence that covers retail skincare varies by state, and a few states license the premises rather than the shop. The state-rules table lists the licensing body, whether a separate retail licence is needed, and the sales-tax permit for every state and the District of Columbia, each row sourced to the official state page.
What does MoCRA require of a brand owner?
The brand owner is the responsible person: facility registration, product listing, safety substantiation, adverse-event records, and labelling. The MoCRA guides split what sits with you from what the manufacturer handles, and the MoCRA checklist walks through each duty.
What has to be on the label?
Five FDA elements plus the MoCRA contact line, ingredients in INCI order, and net contents — and any claim that changes the rules. The label guide walks through each element and the claims that move a product into drug territory.
Do I need insurance to sell my own line?
Product liability insurance covers claims that a product caused harm, and some marketplaces and retailers require it before they will stock you. The insurance guide explains what it covers, what it costs, and where it is required.
