Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC) is an umbrella coalition of groups with a focus on the perceived risks of potentially toxic or dangerous chemicals used in cosmetics. </ref> https://www.safecosmetics.org/ [1]
Founding campaign members include Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow, the Breast Cancer Fund, Commonweal, the Environmental Working Group, Friends of the Earth, the National Black Environmental Justice Network, the National Environmental Trust, and Women's Voices for the Earth.
History[edit]
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics' consumer campaign began with a campaign over the presence of phthalates, believed to impair fertility and be potentially harmful to developing humans, in cosmetics. [2]
The release of the 2002 report and the succeeding studies that supported its findings prompted a coalition of public health, educational, religious, labor, women's, environmental, and consumer groups to call for consumer health protection from authorities and safer cosmetics from manufacturers. [3]
CSC is a program of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP), a national science-based advocacy organization working to prevent breast cancer by eliminating environmental exposures linked to the disease. [4] [5]
In 2022, CSC helped pass two new laws in California related to the use of safe ingredients in cosmetics: The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act of 2022 and the California PFAS-Free Cosmetic Act (AB 2771).[6]
