Today I’m proud to introduce my Safe Cosmetics & Personal Care Products Act of 2019 (H.R. 4296), the progressive standard bearer in establishing a robust regulatory framework to ensure the safety of cosmetics and personal care products. #safecosmeticshttps://schakowsky.house.gov/press-releases/schakowsky-introduces-legislation-to-protect-consumers-from-harmful-products-in-cosmetics-and-personal-care-items/ …
Did you know @US_FDA has no authority to regulate the $84 billion cosmetics industry that uses roughly 12,500 unique chemicals in their products?
Americans use about 12 personal care products each day, resulting in exposure to an average of 168 unique chemicals. #safecosmetics

These chemical ingredients include coal tar dyes, formaldehyde, asbestos, parabens, and phthalates. Human exposures have been linked to cancer, infertility, miscarriage, poor infant & maternal health outcomes, obesity, asthma, and many other serious health concerns #safecosmetics
H.R. 4296 is the only federal bill that holds all cosmetic and personal care product companies fully accountable for the safety of their ingredients and offers full transparency to consumers and professional salon workers. #safecosmetics
H.R 4296 is also the only federal bill to directly address the fact that communities of color and professional salon workers are over-exposed to toxic cosmetic chemicals and provide money to help respond to the problem #safecosmetics
Toxic ingredients don’t belong in our beauty care products. We should restore consumer confidence in the safety of beauty and personal care products by making safe cosmetics the new normal. I urge my colleagues to join me in fighting for the passage of this bill. #safecosmeticspic.twitter.com/RpUCaJC0V7
