Professional cosmetics: labeling requirements.

(1) The Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, among other things, regulates the labeling of cosmetics and authorizes the State Department of Public Health to require a cosmetic label to list ingredients under specified circumstances. The law generally defines the term "cosmetic" as an article, or its components, intended to be applied to the human body, or any part of the human body, for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance. The law makes a violation of its provisions a crime. This bill would require a professional cosmetic manufactured on or after July 1, 2020, for sale in this state to have a label affixed on the container that satisfies all of the labeling requirements for any other cosmetic pursuant to specific federal laws. By expanding the requirements of this law, the bill would expand the scope of a crime, and thus would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would define terms for its purposes and make legislative findings in support of its provisions. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
