A cosmetic shall be deemed to be misbranded:

  1. If its labeling is false or misleading in any particular;
  2. If in package form unless it bears a label containing:
    1. The name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; and
    2. An accurate statement of the quantity of the contents in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count, provided that reasonable variations shall be permitted and exemptions as to small packages shall be established by regulations prescribed by the State Board of Pharmacy;
  3. If any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of this chapter to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices in the labeling and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use; or
  4. If its container is so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading.
