Cosmetic Safety for Communities of Color and Professional Salon Workers Act of 2025
This bill would fund research into health impacts from chemicals in cosmetics used by communities of color and professional salon workers, with $7.5 million allocated for each research area. It requires cosmetic manufacturers to provide safety data sheets in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean) for salon products containing hazardous chemicals. The bill establishes two national resource centers to provide education, training, and culturally appropriate materials about safer cosmetic choices for underserved populations. It also regulates synthetic braids as cosmetics under FDA safety standards, requiring warning labels if safety standards aren't met.
