Farah K. Ahmed, president & CEO, Fragrance Creators Association, issued a statement to Congress this week applauding the inclusion of the “Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act” in the FY2023 omnibus appropriations bill, urging its approval. The move, Ahmed said, will “create a modern cosmetics regulatory framework for fragrances in cosmetics products designed to advance sound science, safety, innovation and consumer confidence.
“We thank Sens. Murray, Burr, Collins and Feinstein, and Representatives Pallone and McMorris Rodgers and their tireless staffs for championing this legislation. While we are pleased that cosmetics regulations are now coming in-line with the needs of the 21st century, we remain concerned that future individual state actions could negatively impact competition, limit innovation and cause consumer confusion.”
He continued, “Fragrance Creators looks forward to engaging with the Food and Drug Administration to ensure a strong federal role and proper implementation of the cosmetics modernization provisions as related to fragrance.”
