Ban on Parabens in Cosmetics and Sunscreens for Consumer Safety.
This law bans the use of parabens—common preservatives—in all cosmetics and sunscreens sold across the United States to enhance consumer safety. Manufacturers must remove these substances from product formulas, ensuring safer daily use products. These changes will take effect two years after the law is enacted, allowing the industry time to adjust production.
Key points
Cosmetics and sunscreens containing parabens (e.g., methylparaben, propylparaben) will be classified as illegal for interstate commerce.
The ban covers a wide range of parabens and applies to both cosmetic products and sunscreens (classified as drugs).
The changes become effective two years after enactment, meaning consumers will see only new, paraben-free formulas on shelves.
