Support for Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act

January 12, 2022

PCC submitted written testimony to the Washington State Senate in support of SB 5703, an act that would restrict and require disclosure of toxic chemicals in cosmetics.

While PCC sets strict standards for products that we sell, we are committed to the health and safety of all WA State residents. That is why PCC expressed support for SB 5703/HB 1853, which would help limit or require additional disclosure around some of the most toxic chemicals that can be found in cosmetics.
