40 Years of Action for Clean Water

Cosmetics Should be Safe!

Ask your Representative to Co-Sponsor HR2359, the Safe Cosmetics Act!

Did you know right now in the U.S. it's perfectly legal for there to be lead in lipstick and carcinogens in baby shampoo?  Some of these chemicals don't even appear on product labels. This bill (H.R. 2359) would give the Food and Drug Administration the authority it needs to ensure that personal care products are free of harmful substances like lead, 1,4-dioxane and chemicals linked to cancer.

Existing law, which has not been updated in 70 years, allows companies to use these and other toxic chemicals in products we use on our bodies every day. We know that the U.S. can do better to protect our families and to remain a world leader in the marketplace!
