The TSCA makes it complicated for the EPA to regulate the industry. The EPA can only test a potentially toxic chemical if companies have already shown the agency that the substance may cause harm. You can imagine that this does not happen frequently. Because of the self-policing nature of the industry, close-scrutiny requirements are practically non-existent, long-term health effects from various chemicals are unknown, and cosmetic companies are not legally required to report adverse product effects to the FDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the mixture of a powerful industry\u2019s influence with a regulatory system that demands a high level of proof of harm before any regulation is likely to blame for the lack of banned ingredients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are There Requirements to List Ingredients on the Product Label?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, both the U.S. and Europe have requirements for listing ingredients on cosmetic and personal care products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UNITED STATES<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The FDA has three main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/88234\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">labeling requirements<\/a>.<ul><li><strong>Principal Display Panel (PDP):<\/strong> Must present an identity statement, net quantity, and any usage warnings.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Information Panel (IP):<\/strong> Must be in the correct language, show name and place of business, distributor statement, cosmetic warning statements, ingredients declaration, ingredient names, ingredients listing, and material facts.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Trade secret status:<\/strong> A trade secret may consist of any formula, pattern, device, or compilation of information used in one&#8217;s business that could potentially give one an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

Now is the time to start paying attention to what you buy and understand the impact of what you buy. Similar to what we have seen in the food industry, the fewer people who purchase items with toxic ingredients, the less incentive there is for brands to make them and retailers to sell them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a supplier and retailer, it is critical to understand that consumers\u2019 product interests are changing across the world. Unlike Europe, U.S. consumers won\u2019t be able to entirely rely on regulations to bring attention to potentially harmful ingredients. As a manufacturer, suppliers should understand the influence and impact of what they sell.
