Fragrance Bill to be Revisited
The Cosmetic Site> The Safe Notification and Information for Fragrances Act will most likely to be revisited this fall by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), according to the Rose Sheet. The bill would reportedly amend the FD&C Act to require labeling of “known allergens” or “toxic substances” in fragrances. Similar to legislation passed in the European Union (EU), the act will require labeling of 26 fragrance allergens if used in concentrations of .001% in leave-on products and .01% in rinse-off products as part of the Seventh Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive. According to the report, the industry is preparing to comply with the EU proposal either by reformulating fragrance products or adding appropriate labeling to packaging.
