Science & Safety - Personal Care Products Council

Safety is the most fundamental consideration when it comes to taking care of yourself and your family. If you can’t believe in a product and rely on it to do what it says, then nothing else matters. Product safety is the top priority of cosmetics and personal care products companies, and everything we do is grounded in the best science available.
