Should the U.S. ban additional toxins from beauty products?
What's the story?
- As of 2020, the Food and Drug Administration has only banned 11 chemicals in beauty and personal-care products. This is despite over 1,800 harmful chemicals being included in thousands of beauty products on American store shelves.
- For comparison, the European Union has banned more than 1,300 harmful and potentially toxic chemicals that had been used in beauty and healthcare products globally.
- Advocates and brands are working to convince Congress that it is time to make the personal-care industry safer and cleaner.
