HR 8360 United States House · 118th Congress

No Toxic Chemicals in Cosmetics Act

HR 8360, the "No Toxic Chemicals in Cosmetics Act," bans the sale of sunscreens and cosmetics containing specific parabens (like methylparaben and propylparaben) after a two-year implementation period. It directly affects cosmetic manufacturers and retailers who would need to reformulate or remove products containing these preservatives from interstate commerce. The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define such products as "adulterated," making them illegal to sell. This creates a clear regulatory change for the cosmetics industry, requiring compliance with the new restrictions by the two-year deadline.
