🚨 Regulation of PFAS in Cosmetics 🚨   Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are becoming a significant health concern, and the cosmetics industry makes no exception. With the FDA set to publish a comprehensive report next year as part of the MoCRA legislation, it's crucial to stay ahead of these developments.   States are already taking proactive steps to regulate PFAS. For instance, in the last few weeks:   🔹 New Hampshire has introduced draft HB1649, which aims to prohibit the use of PFAS by 2027. 🔹 Connecticut and Vermont have also implemented regulations (SB242 and SB25) banning PFAS use.   Although PFAS are not commonly found in cosmetic formulations, traces can still appear due to interactions with packaging materials. This highlights the importance of identifying and eliminating all potential sources of PFAS contamination.   Let's work together to ensure our products are safe and compliant with these emerging regulations. Staying informed and proactive is key to maintaining the trust and safety of our consumers.   #CosmeticsRegulation #MoCRA #RegulatoryAffairs #PFAS #Compliance

Meet the bad-boy chemical of the week: N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP), CAS# 872-50-4, C5H9NO  The EPA proposed new TSCA regulations for NMP that would protect workers and consumers from exposure. "NMP is a widely used solvent in a variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications including the manufacture and production of electronics such as semiconductors, polymers, petrochemical products, paints and coatings, and paint and coating removers." NMP is also used in cosmetic and food products like nail polish remover, lotion, hair treatments, acne medication, and food contact materials. However, cosmetic and food ingredients are regulated by the FDA. While NMP is currently allowed by the FDA, that may change given the 2015 EU ban on NMP use in cosmetics and food, as well as, pressure from consumer safety advocates. https://lnkd.in/gyJYbWnN
