California has been a pioneer in regulating the markets for cosmetics and consumer products. Washington State is also joining the bandwagon with its recently introduced ‘Toxic Free Cosmetics Act.’ With ever-changing laws and regulations, it can be challenging for companies to ensure compliance while also meeting consumer demand for safe and effective products.

Join our panelists for an in-depth review of the most important laws and regulations at the state and federal levels, that brands need to be aware of, such as:

• Understanding California’s Safe Cosmetics Program and its reporting requirements
• Ensuring compliance with Proposition 65 and its warning requirements
• Staying up to date on evolving regulations and industry trends
• Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the legal disputes between state and federal bodies and assessing the applicability of preemption

Washington State focus:
