Relating to a manufacturer's disclosure of cosmetic ingredients; authorizing an administrative penalty.

HB 699 requires cosmetic manufacturers selling products in Texas to disclose all ingredients - including fragrances, flavors, and color additives - in order of predominance on their website, along with each ingredient's chemical abstract service (CAS) number. Manufacturers may list ingredients under 1% concentration in any order to protect trade secrets. The bill authorizes the Texas Department of Health to impose administrative penalties for violations of this disclosure rule. It takes effect on September 1, 2025, directly affecting cosmetic companies operating in Texas.
