WA Legislature 2023
Introduction
HB 1047 Toxic Chemicals in Cosmetic Products
Remove chemicals linked to cancer and developmental and reproductive harm from cosmetics.
Thousands of cosmetics and personal care products are used by people every day and the chemicals used to make them are largely unregulated.
The fact is that chemicals linked to cancer and developmental and reproductive harm are put into cosmetic products and personal care products. Besides potentially harming the person using the product, products with these toxic ingredients can also cause larger-scale pollution problems during manufacturing and after disposal.
Cosmetics don’t just stay on our skin. Our bodies’ skin not only absorbs some of the harmful chemicals that are applied to it, but we can also inhale the chemicals or wind up ingesting them from products like lipstick.
