Prohibits sale of cosmetic products and personal care products containing 1,4-dioxane.
This bill prohibits the sale of cosmetic and personal care products containing 1,4-dioxane above specific trace levels. It sets a maximum limit of 10 parts per million (ppm) for cosmetics and 2 ppm for personal care products (reducing to 1 ppm after two years), with the Department of Environmental Protection establishing these standards. Manufacturers may apply for a one-year waiver if they've reduced 1,4-dioxane levels but cannot comply, with a possible second waiver. The law takes effect one year after enactment, directly affecting product sellers and manufacturers in New Jersey.
