This month we wrote to 3 politicians to support regulations for safe, non toxic cosmetics:
Senator Kirsten Gillebrand (NY) for her initiative on S. 1014, the Personal Care Products Safety Act. Happy to learn our senator agrees we must provide the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) with expanded authority to regulate the personal care products industry in order to better protect consumer health and safety.
