Tell Congress: Step Up And Pass Regulations For Cosmetics

We can and must do better. We need sensible regulations for cosmetics, and for children's products. Parents should never have to wonder whether or not asbestos is in kids' makeup, and consumers shouldn't wonder if hazardous substances are lurking in their cosmetics.

Congress should step up and pass meaningful legislation requiring testing and regulation of cosmetic products.

Subject: Pass Regulations For Cosmetics

Your Letter:

When a parent buys something for their child, they shouldn't have to worry about whether that product contains harmful chemicals. Parents assume items on store shelves are safe, and expect that we already have regulations in place to protect kids.

But at the start of 2018, national children's retailer Claire's issued a recall of nine makeup products after testing by a law firm found they may contain cancer-causing asbestos fibers. Claire's has since issued a notice that their own testing has found their products to be asbestos-free.

This latest issue with Claire's is just a drop in the bucket. The problem? There has been no meaningful legislation regulating cosmetics since 1948. That's why Congress should step in and require testing for makeup.

Please take action and create regulations now.
