OTC & monograph topicals

OTC products that pass the retailer's audit

An OTC topical is a drug, and retailers expect proof. InSpec Solutions manufactures external analgesics, sunscreen, and acne treatments with the batch records, Drug Facts support, and audit history buyers ask for before they place an order, so you don't have to worry about compliance becoming your problem.

Why OTC is different

In OTC, the documentation is part of the product

Audit-ready

Ready for the FDA's audit, and the retailer's

When a brand scales an OTC product to retail, the manufacturer's compliance record becomes the brand's risk. Batch records, a clean FDA audit history, and accurate Drug Facts panels are what separate a manufacturer that can ship to Walmart from one that can't.

Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis and complete documentation, so when a retailer's quality team calls, there's a real answer.

Monograph manufacturing

Approved actives, approved concentrations, documented

We manufacture to the OTC monographs for external analgesics, sunscreen, acne, and skin protectants, so your actives, concentrations, and Drug Facts panel are right from the first batch. Tech transfer without reformulation is one of the most common reasons brands call us.

Tech transfer & monograph continuation

Move an OTC product without starting over

Brands bring OTC products to InSpec Solutions when they need more capacity, cleaner audit documentation, or a format their current line can't run. Where the spec allows, we take over monograph products without reformulation and bring the documentation up to what a national retailer expects.

Lidocaine, menthol, benzocaine, methyl salicylate, SPF, and acne actives, in creams, gels, roll-ons, and sprays.
