Requires new safety rules for cosmetics and synthetic braids, helping salon workers and communities of color.
This bill would require new research into chemicals in cosmetics affecting women and girls of color and salon workers. It would also establish resource centers to help these groups. Professional cosmetic products would need safety information in multiple languages. Additionally, synthetic braids would get new safety standards from the FDA.
Currently, there are no specific federal programs to research cosmetic safety for communities of color or salon workers, nor are there national centers dedicated to educating these groups. Professional cosmetic safety data sheets are not federally mandated in multiple languages, and synthetic braids lack specific FDA safety oversight. If this bill becomes law, it would set aside funding for $25 million for research and grants to create safer cosmetics, establish two national resource centers with $2 million per year each for education and outreach, require multi-language safety data sheets for professional cosmetics, and bring synthetic braids under FDA regulation with new safety standards and warning labels for non-compliant products.
