Do you know what you?re putting on your face" With beauty brands launching new products seemingly daily, it?s vital to know what chemicals our skin is being exposed to every time we swipe on a serum, lipstick or deodorant. It?s been an astonishing 80 years since Congress passed any legislation to manage the beauty industry, but a new bill has been introduced that will impose transparency on the ingredients used in skin care and cosmetics.
In the bipartisan Personal Care Products Safety Act, sponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Susan Collins of Maine, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will have the authority to demand transparency from the largely unregulated $60 billion personal care industry. The bill will allow government inspections of the facilities in which products are made and will require companies to release a detailed list of ingredients in their products. Most importantly, the bill includes a protocol of product recall if any ingredients are found to be harmful.
