This bill, titled the "Toxic-Free Beauty Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by prohibiting the inclusion of certain harmful substances in cosmetic products. It specifically bans intentionally added ortho-phthalates and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives from being used as ingredients. The legislation further prohibits a detailed list of intentionally added ingredients , including formaldehyde, mercury compounds, specific parabens (isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben), toluene, triclosan, and triclocarban. It also establishes strict limits for several contaminants , such as 1,4 dioxane at or above 2 parts per million, lead and lead compounds at 2-5 parts per million depending on the cosmetic type, and asbestos at the lowest possible limit of detection. To support these prohibitions, the bill adds new definitions for terms like "color cosmetic," "contaminant," and "intentionally added." Importantly, it clarifies that states retain the authority to prohibit or limit cosmetic ingredients, including those specified in this Act, and are not preempted by federal regulations except as explicitly stated. The provisions of this Act are set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
