The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011
Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on June 24, 2011, the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 (H.R.2359) aims to ensure that all personal care products are safe by establishing a system to assess the safety of cosmetics ingredients and to phase out the most harmful substances that are suspected of causing cancer, reproductive harm or other adverse health effects.
By shifting away from the toxic chemistry and polluting technologies of the past, American companies will lead the way in a global marketplace where consumers are demanding the next generation of safer, non-toxic products.
The bill is similar to the Safe Cosmetics Act that was first introduced into Congress in 2010, with some important changes made in response to concerns from the small business community that will make this legislation more effective and workable while still protecting consumer health. Most notably, changes were made to the fee structure and registration requirements for small businesses, and clarifications were made to the labeling and contaminants sections. See the frequently asked questions below and our chart of changes for more information about specific improvements made to the bill.
