Sessions Reintroduces the Safe Cosmetics Modernization Act

Statement

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Rules, released the following statement after reintroducing the Safe Cosmetics Modernization Act:

"As a father I understand the importance of making sure our children are using products that are healthy and safe. As our society becomes more technologically advanced it is unacceptable that standards for healthy and safe cosmetics have not been updated since the 1960s. I believe it is critical that we provide consumers with information about what is in the products that they use on a daily basis without overburdening the small businesses and entrepreneurs who craft these products. I proudly reintroduced this measure to modernize these outdated regulations and establish a consistent, federal standard for health and safety of cosmetics. This bill will ensure Americans know what is in these products and holds companies to a proper standard of excellence."
