New York’s Beauty Justice Act: Sweeping Changes Proposed for Cosmetics and Personal Care Products - JD Supra

Detected July 21, 2026 · in Cosmetics & Personal-Care (MoCRA)

New York's proposed Beauty Justice Act would impose sweeping new requirements on cosmetics and personal care products, including bans on PFAS and other chemicals, mandatory fragrance allergen disclosure, and stricter safety substantiation. This state-level bill goes beyond federal MoCRA and could create compliance burdens for businesses selling in New York.

Aforeworn detected this change in the Cosmetics & Personal-Care (MoCRA) space on July 21, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Medium urgency. Indie beauty brands, contract manufacturers, private-label makers, importers/distributors selling cosmetics in New York should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Bill is proposed; no effective date yet. Businesses should prepare for potential passage within 1-2 years..
