No PFAS in Cosmetics Act

HR 6519, the "No PFAS in Cosmetics Act," prohibits the intentional addition of perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to cosmetics sold in the United States. It directly affects cosmetic manufacturers and suppliers who currently use PFAS for functional properties like water resistance. The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to make cosmetics containing intentionally added PFAS "adulterated" and illegal to sell, effective January 1, 2025. It also repeals a prior provision from the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 that had addressed PFAS. This is a substantive regulatory change targeting product ingredients, not a procedural measure.
