HB 930 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HEALTH/LDH: Eliminates the requirement for the Louisiana Department of Health to register cosmetic products

HB 930 eliminates the Louisiana Department of Health's requirement for "cottage cosmetic facilities" to register their products. These are small home-based businesses that manufacture, pack, or hold cosmetics with annual wholesale sales under $100,000. The bill exempts them from permits, fees, routine inspections, and the general product registration rule in Section 627, though they must still handle local sales tax via a valid certificate. It also prohibits these facilities from selling directly to consumers, making drug claims, or manufacturing regulated products. The bill does not change federal regulations or apply to larger cosmetic businesses.

MODERATE

This bill removes the requirement for cosmetic companies to register products with the state Department of Health. It creates a new exemption for small 'cottage' cosmetic facilities operating from private homes, provided they stay under a $100,000 wholesale sales limit and do not sell directly to consumers or manufacture products intended for internal use or injection.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope by introducing a specific exemption for small-scale home-based cosmetic manufacturers that previously did not exist, while simultaneously removing the general registration mandate for all other cosmetic products.

REQUIREMENT

Eliminated the annual registration requirement for manufacturers, packers, or proprietors of cosmetics to file with the Department of Health.

Modified tax requirements for cottage facilities to require registration and collection of local sales and use taxes on cosmetics, rather than foods.

DEFINITION

Defined a 'cottage cosmetic facility' as an entity manufacturing or holding cosmetics in a private residence with total annual wholesale sales not exceeding $100,000.

ELIGIBILITY

Established eligibility criteria for the cottage facility exemption, requiring the business to be located in a private residence and prohibiting direct sales to end users.

Added prohibitions for cottage facilities, disqualifying them from the exemption if they manufacture products for injection, internal use, or those making drug-like medical claims.

ENFORCEMENT

Clarified that cottage facilities are exempt from permit requirements, facility inspections, and associated fees under state law.
