Key Facts

These bills cover almost every aspect of personal care product safety. They will:

• Ban the worst first: Ban 11 of the most toxic chemicals, including mercury, formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, and phenylenediamines (hair dye chemicals). CA, MD, and the European Union already ban these chemicals.
• Defend the health of women of color and salon workers: These two vulnerable populations are among the most highly exposed to toxic chemicals because of the products marketed to them and those commonly found in their workplaces.
• Reveal fragrance and flavor ingredients: Require the disclosure of these secret, unlabeled, and often toxic chemicals in our personal care products on labels and websites for both retail consumer products and professional salon products.
• Force supply chain transparency so cosmetic companies can get the information they need from their upstream suppliers to make safer products.
