Cosmetic Hazardous Ingredient Right to Know Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Schakowsky, Janice D. [D-IL-9]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would expand public disclosure of cosmetic ingredients, with special focus on fragrance and flavor components. It would set up a national master list, require machine‑readable online ingredient lists, and phase in label and website rules over time.

Show full summary
  • Consumers and families would get easier access to ingredient and hazard information, including hazard context and links to safety data sheets, with website disclosures due in 1 year and label disclosures due in 2 years.
  • Brand owners and manufacturers would have to publish ingredient lists in an electronically readable format, link each ingredient to the FDA master list, and follow update rules that include semiannual master‑list updates and subscriber notifications within 30 days. They would face new enforcement authority if required disclosures are missing.
  • Health and beauty professionals would see extra transparency for professional‑use products because the bill would require links to safety data sheets and additional hazard information for those products.
  • States would retain the power to ban or restrict ingredients or require stricter disclosure than the federal baseline while the federal law creates a consistent interstate framework.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

National hazard list for cosmetics

The bill names many federal, state, and international hazard lists. If a cosmetic has a chemical on any list, brands would add a package statement and website links. New chemicals added later would also count. FDA would post a public master list within six months. You could subscribe for updates; FDA would notify within 30 days of changes and post six-month summaries.

Clearer cosmetic labels and websites

Brand owners would post full, machine-readable ingredient lists online one year after enactment. Packages would show full ingredients two years after enactment. Sites must list all fragrance and flavor chemicals, their purpose, and link to any hazard lists. Salon or spa products would also be covered and must link to safety data sheets. Sites could not require logins or CAPTCHAs and must meet accessibility standards. Brands must update links within seven months of list changes, or risk misbranding actions.

States could set stricter cosmetic rules

States could ban or limit cosmetic ingredients. They could keep existing reporting laws and add stronger disclosure rules. The federal changes would not preempt state actions unless clearly stated. This could mean tougher rules in some states and different labels across the country.
