TAKE ACTION to support the CROWN Act!
Help end injustices and health risks thrust upon Black women and girls as a result of hair discrimination. Take action to support the CROWN Act!
Current law that oversees cosmetics is 80 years old. Time to change that!
There are currently around 10,000 ingredients used in cosmetics. Yet, the 84 billion dollar cosmetic and personal care industry is not required to meet any sort of safety standard for ingredients.
CA Governor Signs Historic Law Requiring Ingredient Disclosure in Professional Salon Products
In a major victory for worker and consumer right to know, Governor Brown signed into law a ground-breaking bill that requires manufacturers to disclose ingredients on the labels of professional cosmetics.
Until now, only retail cosmetics manufacturers were required to list product ingredients. This same transparency was not required of professional cosmetics, even if products contained ingredients linked to severe health concerns like cancer, birth defects, and respiratory issues. Introduced by Assembly Member Ash Kalra (D-San Jose), AB 2775 is the first such law to take effect in the nation.
The Call for Transparency in Professional Salon Products is a Big Deal
Even if you are not a regular salon-goer yourself, this first-of-its-kind legislation has the power to drastically improve the health, and human rights of salon workers in California, and eventually, hopefully, throughout the nation.
