Statement by the Personal Care Products Council on New York Bills SB2057 and AB2054
WASHINGTON—Providing consumers with safe and effective products is the highest priority for the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) and our member companies. We have a long history of working with stakeholders and supporting science-based policies and regulations.
PCPC is concerned about the New York state legislature’s proposed ban on safe, commonly used ingredients, including preservatives that help maintain the shelf life of many cosmetics and personal care products, such as sunscreen, makeup and hygiene products.
If the bill passes as written, it will force trusted brands off the market, leaving New Yorkers with fewer options and irreparably harming our industry’s small businesses and entrepreneurs. In addition, the cosmetics and personal care products supply chain would be significantly disrupted. For example, a business not headquartered in New York that sells cosmetics and personal care products in the state would be impacted by the compliance requirements of these bills while complying with federal and global manufacturing compliance requirements.
We will continue to work with New York state legislators to consider amendments to harmonize the bills with recently enacted laws, moving a step closer to global regulatory alignment.
