Bans harmful chemicals and contaminants from cosmetic products like makeup and lotions.
This bill would ban certain intentionally added chemicals, like formaldehyde and mercury, from cosmetic products. It would also set strict limits on contaminants like lead and asbestos in items such as makeup and lotions. This means consumers would have safer products, while manufacturers would need to update their formulas by January 1, 2027.
Today, federal law does not explicitly ban these specific intentionally added ingredients or set these exact limits on contaminants in cosmetics. After this bill, cosmetic products would be considered illegal if they contain certain intentionally added ortho-phthalates, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, or 15 other specific ingredients. They would also be illegal if they contain 1,4 dioxane above 2 parts per million, lead above 2 or 5 parts per million (depending on the cosmetic type), or any detectable asbestos.
