Cosmetics are regulated by agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Commission to ensure safety and proper labeling. They are distinct from drugs, which are intended to treat or prevent medical conditions. However, some products, like anti-dandruff shampoo or sunscreen, may be classified as both cosmetics and drugs depending on their intended use.

If a product claims to treat, prevent, or cure a disease (e.g., acne treatment, anti-dandruff shampoo, sunscreen), it may be classified as a drug rather than a cosmetic. Some products can be both, depending on their claims and ingredients.
