How SULA NYC Supports Safe Cosmetics


safe cosmetics campaign partners
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.

We also wrote to Congressmen Lance and  Pallone (NJ) to improve laws banning toxic and harmful chemicals in cosmetics. Initiated by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics where we are a business member. Patricia, our CEO, used the opportunity to provide a public comment to the Pallone/Lance House Federal Cosmetic Safety Discussion Draft.
