Bill Summary
Manufacturing or sale of cosmetic products with certain ingredients prohibited.

The bill provides that a violation of its provisions constitutes a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Virginia Consumer Protection Act to prohibit the manufacturing, sale, delivery, offering for sale, or use of cosmetic products containing specific intentionally added ingredients, including certain phthalates, formaldehyde, mercury, parabens, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These prohibited ingredients are listed with their Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry numbers for clarity. The bill also clarifies that a violation of these new provisions constitutes a prohibited practice under the existing Virginia Consumer Protection Act, meaning it can be enforced through the penalties and procedures outlined in that act. Importantly, the bill includes an exception for technically unavoidable trace quantities of these ingredients that may be present due to impurities, manufacturing processes, storage, or migration from packaging, provided the product was manufactured with the intent to comply with the new regulations.
