As an alliance of organizations and coalitions, the collective work of Safer States has an incredible impact both within individual states and across the country. California has led the way on transparency requiring cosmetic manufacturers to disclose harmful ingredients to the state and to consumers. Washington, New York, Minnesota, Oregon and Vermont require reporting of harmful ingredients in personal care products for children. Six states including CA, CO, MD, MN, OR, and WA have banned PFAS from cosmetics and many have also banned other harmful ingredients including mercury, formaldehyde and certain phthalates from personal care products.
