The Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors (ICMAD) association is supporting the Safe Cosmetics Modernization Act Bill (H.R. 4075) introduced by Congressman Pete Sessions, which proposes to modernize and significantly enhance the FDA's approach to cosmetics and cosmetic safety, it says. According to the association in a statement, the Sessions Bill also provides much needed National Uniformity consistent with the recently passed, Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act Bill (H.R. 1599) and the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 (H.R. 1321).
The Sessions Bill is more aligned with ICMAD's desire to modernize the FDA laws governing cosmetics and ICMAD's long track record of recognizing the importance of product safety and the need to support small business that innovates and provides job formation.
ICMAD contends it will continue to work with its sister organizations such as the Personal Care Products Council and the Professional Beauty Association to develop a unified and consistent approach to modernization of the FDA laws.
As announced back in April of 2015, The Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors (ICMAD) decided after careful review and consideration, that it could not support the Personal Care Products Safety Act Bill (S. 1014) introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and co-sponsored by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), as it placed too large a burden on small business, did not provide reasonable National Uniformity, and would, if passed, stifle innovation in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
