Bill > HR4433

This bill, known as the Toxic-Free Beauty Act of 2025, proposes to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ban certain substances in cosmetic products. Specifically, the bill prohibits cosmetics containing a list of 15 intentionally added ingredients, including formaldehyde, mercury, parabens, and various chemicals like toluene and triclosan. Additionally, the bill sets limits on contaminants such as 1,4 dioxane, lead, and asbestos in cosmetics, with specific parts per million thresholds for different types of cosmetic products. The bill introduces several new definitions, including "color cosmetic," "contaminant," and "intentionally added," to clarify the scope of the regulations. Importantly, the bill preserves states' rights to implement their own additional restrictions on cosmetic ingredients, ensuring that federal regulations do not prevent more stringent state-level protections. The provisions of this bill would take effect on January 1, 2027, giving manufacturers time to reformulate their products to comply with the new restrictions. The goal of the bill is to improve consumer safety by eliminating potentially harmful chemicals from cosmetic products.
