What’s happening in policy

The $84 billion personal care products industry remains one of the least regulated in the United States. BCPP is vigorously pursuing health-protective U.S. federal and state cosmetic safety legislation.

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a program of BCPP, protects people and the planet from toxic chemicals by educating the public; transforming the beauty industry to make products safer; and advocating for health-protective laws that benefit everyone regardless of where they live, work, or shop. As the original trailblazer for safe cosmetics, we focus on eliminating dangerous chemicals linked to cancer and other serious health concerns from beauty and personal care products once and for all.
