Relating to a manufacturer's disclosure of ingredients and toxic metals in lipstick and lip gloss.
HB 719 requires manufacturers selling lipstick or lip gloss in Texas to disclose on both their product labels and website: (1) any toxic metals present (like lead, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, or manganese), regardless of concentration, and (2) a full list of all ingredients, including fragrances, flavors, and color additives. This directly affects cosmetic manufacturers operating in Texas who produce these specific products. The law mandates these disclosures starting September 1, 2025, and the Health and Human Services Commission must create implementing rules by then. The bill focuses solely on increasing transparency about ingredients and potential toxins in lip products.
