Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

What it is

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a program of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. It works to make beauty and personal care products safer through public education, pressure on the beauty industry, and advocacy for health-protective laws.

What it covers

Ingredients of concern in cosmetics and personal care products, and US cosmetics policy, including the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 and state laws such as California's PFAS ban in personal care products.

How to verify

Policy positions and ingredient explainers are on safecosmetics.org. Laws it describes can be checked against the statute or the FDA's own pages.

How SafeMama uses it

Cited for the history and status of cosmetics regulation, and as a pointer to which ingredients are under policy scrutiny.

Limitations / conflicts

This is an advocacy organization. It campaigns for particular outcomes, so SafeMama does not treat its ingredient positions as settled science on their own.
