As a proud member of the Independent Beauty Association – and the exclusive sponsor of the IBA FiscalNote U.S. Policy Map – Obelis USA is making world-class legislative intelligence accessible to every beauty brand navigating the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape.
Since the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) was signed into law in December 2022 – the biggest FDA reform of cosmetics since 1938 – beauty brands face sweeping new obligations: facility registration, product listing, adverse event reporting, updated labeling and more. U.S. states are also advancing their own cosmetics bills, creating a multi-jurisdictional compliance challenge.
In this context, Obelis USA has partnered with the Independent Beauty Association (IBA) – not just as a member, but as the exclusive sponsor of the IBA FiscalNote U.S. Policy Map: a real-time legislative tracking tool covering all U.S. states and Capitol Hill.

The IBA FiscalNote U.S. Policy Map is an interactive, real-time legislative tracking tool built for the beauty industry. It allows users to:
- Track legislative movement in active sessions across all U.S. states and on Capitol Hill
- Filter by state or topic to zero in on what matters most to your business
- Pinpoint bills of greatest priority based on their substance, scope, current progress, and probability of passing
- Click directly through to bill summaries for deeper analysis
- Monitor federal bills via a dedicated federal bill tracker within the map
- Select multiple states or issue areas simultaneously for cross-jurisdictional analysis
Previously the kind of tool only large corporations with government affairs teams could access, the Policy Map is now available to the whole beauty industry.
As an IBA member and the exclusive sponsor of this resource, Obelis Group is pleased to share access to the Policy Map with our clients and the wider beauty industry community:
