Call Congress to Support the Safer Beauty Bill Package

National Call-In #SaferBeauty4All

We all deserve access to personal care and beauty products that are free from cancer-causing and other harmful chemicals, no matter where we live, work, or shop. We need your help to make federal cosmetic safety policy reform a priority for Congress. Call your Congressional representative and urge them to support the Safer Beauty Bill Package!  

Right now, companies can legally sell personal care products with chemicals that can cause serious harm to our health and our environment. From cancer-causing asbestos in baby powder, to hormone disrupting phthalates in body wash, to brain damaging lead in lipstick, this situation puts us all at risk.  

The federal Safer Beauty Bill package represents real cosmetic safety policy reform and will:

1. Ban the worst first. Ban the most toxic chemicals (mercury, formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, the entire class of PFAS “forever” chemicals, and more). More

2. Defend the health of women of color and salon workers, two vulnerable populations that are highly exposed to toxic chemicals. More

3. Reveal fragrance and flavor ingredients, the secret, unlabeled, and often toxic chemicals in our products. More

4. Ensure supply chain transparency so cosmetics companies can make safer products. More

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR THE PUBLIC

"Hello. My name is ______ and I'm calling from _______. I'm concerned about the safety of beauty, personal care products, and professional salon products. I am calling to ask you to support the Safer Beauty Bill Package -- which includes bills HR5537, HR5538, HR 5539, and HR5540.

These bills will ban the most toxic chemicals from personal care and beauty products, make ingredient transparency the new industry standard, and make products safer for everyone.

We all use dozens of these products, which means I can be exposed to chemicals linked to cancer, asthma, infertility, and other serious health problems every day. We need meaningful cosmetic safety reform now!

Please co-sponsor and support the Safer Beauty bill package so everyone will be protected regardless of where they live, work or shop."


SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR BUSINESSES

"Hello. My name is ______ and I'm calling from _______. I work at a thriving clean cosmetics company. We are making the safer products that consumers are demanding. I am calling to ask you to support the Safer Beauty Bill Package -- which includes bills HR5537, HR5538, HR 5539, and HR5540.

It’s perfectly legal for personal hygiene products and make-up sold in the U.S. to contain hazardous ingredients that threaten the health of consumers and their families. These bills will ban the most toxic chemicals in personal care and beauty products, make ingredient transparency the new industry standard, and make products safer for everyone.

Will you co-sponsor and support the Safer Beauty Bill Package? We think everyone, not just our customers, deserves access to beauty and personal care products that are safe for people and the planet, regardless of where they shop!"
