Bill > HB719

This bill requires lipstick and lip gloss manufacturers to publicly disclose specific ingredient and toxic metal information on both their product labels and company websites. Specifically, manufacturers must reveal the presence of toxic metals (including lead, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and manganese) regardless of their concentration level, as well as provide a comprehensive list of all ingredients, including fragrances, flavors, and color additives. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's executive commissioner is tasked with creating and implementing the rules for this disclosure requirement, with the new regulations set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The goal of this legislation appears to be increasing transparency about the chemical composition of cosmetic products, allowing consumers to make more informed choices about the beauty products they use and potentially understand potential health risks associated with certain ingredients.
