Not So Safe Cosmetics Law Brings About Revamp
Tucked away in a corner of a strip mall off Buffalo Speedway is One Green Street . It’s a store that sells only organic products. Owner Sherrie Eichberger floats around her store checking her stock and chatting to customers. She takes a moment out to rave about the updated version of the Safe Cosmetics Act 2011 .
"Well it means a world of difference for men, women and children, even pets. People have a false sense of security now when they shop. They believe that there’s already such a bill in place ."
Eichberger goes to great pains to make sure every single product she sells is not only American made but also free of any kind of harmful chemicals, toxins or additives. She feels it’s only fair that large cosmetics companies are held to the same standard. And that according to Stacey Malkan from the Safe Cosmetics Campaign is exactly what this new law will do.
"It would require companies to phase out chemicals that are linked to cancer and birth defects. It would require companies to fully disclose what’s in their products and it will set up a system of safety assessments under FDA for the chemicals and cosmetics."
A Safe Cosmetics Bill was penned last year. However small business owners like Eichberger felt that they couldn’t afford the fees and registrations required by the legislation. After reworking that part of the bill so only large companies were paying a fee Malkan feels they are in a much stronger position to see it passed.
"The current cosmetics regulations are from 1938, so I think there’s a lot of recognition among many parties that the laws need to be updated and that the FDA needs to be brought into the 21
But not everyone likes the idea of these new regulations. Robert Tisserand is an aromatherapy expert with Personal Care Truth.com , a website that provides scientific information on what’s in personal care products.

Dear Dr. Vahl, Vahl Chiropractic Wellness Center
Did you have a busy summer, too? We sure did, and we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss anything important from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
* The biggest news of our summer came on June 24, when Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., joined by Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., introduced the *Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011* (H.R.2359), which would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to ensure that all personal care products, from shampoo to lipstick, are free of harmful ingredients and that all ingredients in the product are disclosed. Existing law, which has not been updated since 1938, has loopholes that allow chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, learning disabilities and other illnesses in products we use on our bodies every day. If you haven’t yet, please ask your Representative to co-sponsor this important bill [ http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5500/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7022 ]!
* Did you see our July action alert and blog post [ http://crazysexylife.com/2011/tangelo-orange-superbug / ] about *Bath & Body Works*? The company is using triclosan – a chemical that may increase superbugs and hormone disruption – in an array of its body care products, including its summer-scented antibacterial hand soaps. Major companies, like Colgate Palmolive and Johnson & Johnson, have recently agreed to eliminate triclosan from many of their products. Surely Bath & Body Works can stop its unnecessary use of toxic triclosan, too. Email B&BW now [ http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5500/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7571 ] to drive the point home!
* Also, our partners at Environmental Working Group released their fifth annual *sunscreen report*, rating 292 brands and 1,700 products. One of the take-homes: Three of five U.S. sunscreens wouldn’t be acceptable in Europe [ http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/sunscreens-exposed/executive-summary / ].
