MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift its focus from prohibiting the sale of anti-aging skin care products to minors to requiring all such products to carry a warning label. This change removes age restrictions on sales while ensuring consumers are informed about potential skin irritation and sun sensitivity risks.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from restricting sales based on the purchaser's age to applying to all sales regardless of age, but now mandates specific labeling requirements for the products.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for retailers to verify the purchaser's age before selling anti-aging skin care products was removed.

The mandate for retailers to post signs or online notices stating that sales to persons under 18 are prohibited was removed.

A new requirement was added for all anti-aging skin care products to bear a clear and conspicuous warning label on packaging and online product pages.

The new warning label must state that the product contains ingredients that may cause skin irritation, increased sun sensitivity, or other adverse reactions, particularly for individuals under 18, and advise consulting a healthcare professional.
