Relates to the full disclosure of ingredients in certain products
This bill requires New York manufacturers of personal care products (like lotions, shampoos, and cosmetics, but excluding soap) to list all actual chemical ingredients on product labels instead of using vague terms like "fragrance" or "preservative." It directly affects companies selling these products in New York, mandating full transparency by replacing generic terms with specific chemical names. The law takes immediate effect, applying to all personal care products distributed, sold, or offered for sale in the state for any use. This change aims to provide consumers with clear ingredient information previously obscured by broad descriptors.
