No PFAS in Cosmetics Act

This bill would change federal food and drug law so that a cosmetic is treated as adulterated if it contains intentionally added PFAS chemicals. PFAS are defined as fluorinated organic chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom. A PFAS counts as intentionally added if a manufacturer or supplier added it to an ingredient, raw material, product, or packaging for a functional or technical effect, or if it is an intentional breakdown product of an added chemical. The ban would apply starting January 1, 2027. The bill would also repeal Section 3506 of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022.
