Retailers and manufacturers impacted by Washington’s Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act (TFCA) are invited to a data collection webinar on June 11 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. The session will focus on how manufacturers using Option 2 under the Interim Lead Policy can collect and submit required lead data for cosmetics. Attendees will receive a walk-through of the data template and have the opportunity to ask questions about testing, recordkeeping, and submission. Third-party labs are also encouraged to attend, with individual registration required.
Retailers and cosmetologists are reminded that products in inventory as of January 1, 2025, may be sold through the end of the year. However, any cosmetics purchased after that date must fully comply with TFCA requirements. Retailers should confirm product compliance with their distributors and reference the TFCA Guide for help identifying restricted chemicals.
The Department of Ecology is also continuing formaldehyde rulemaking, with final adoption expected in September 2025. Comments from the public comment period are under review.
