# Regulatory Updates Powered by Good Face: June 2026 Edition We're excited to share the June 2026 edition of our Regulatory Recap, powered by Good Face. Our system has been updated with the most recent regulatory developments across key markets — including updates to ingredient reporting requirements in the United States, new children's product chemical disclosure frameworks, Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) risk management actions, and amendments to China's Cosmetic Safety Technical Standards. Keep reading to explore these updates in detail. ### United States: California Safe Cosmetics Program The California Safe Cosmetics Program (CSCP) maintains the Reportable Ingredients List (RIL) — a consolidated list of ingredients that manufacturers must disclose when present in cosmetic products sold in California. The list is updated twice a year under both the California Safe Cosmetics Act of 2005 and the Fragrance and Flavor Ingredients Right to Know Act of 2020, and manufacturers have six months from each publication date to update their disclosures accordingly. This update reflects the latest revisions across source authoritative lists. Cosmetic manufacturers selling in California should review the updated RIL against their current formulations and file any required reports within the compliance window. The updated Reportable Ingredients List can be found [here](https://cscpsubmit.cdph.ca.gov/submission/assets/files/Reportable_Ingredients_List.xlsx). ### United States: Minnesota – Toxic Free Kids Act The Minnesota Toxic Free Kids Act, established in 2009, charges the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) with maintaining two chemical lists relevant to children's products: a Chemicals of High Concern list and a Priority Chemicals list. Chemicals of High Concern are defined as those identified by a state, federal, or international agency as known or suspected to harm fetal or child development, cause cancer, or disrupt the endocrine or immune system. The most recent update to the list, published in July 2025, added 15 chemicals and removed 200 based on a review of current toxicology research. While Minnesota does not currently impose direct reporting requirements on cosmetic manufacturers, these lists may signal future regulatory action. The full Toxic Free Kids Act and associated lists can be found [here](https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/childenvhealth/tfka/highconcern.html). ### United States: Oregon Toxic-Free Kids Act The Oregon Toxic-Free Kids Act, enacted under ORS 431A.253–431A.280, authorizes the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to maintain a list of High Priority Chemicals of Concern for Children's Health (HPCCCH) and requires manufacturers of in-scope children's products — including children's cosmetics — to report products containing these chemicals at or above de minimis levels. A key update under the 2023 TFK Modernization Act requires that reports now include the brand name and product model, applying to the 2026 Reporting Period, covering products sold in 2024–2025, with reports due by January 31, 2026. The full Oregon Toxic-Free Kids Act is available [here](https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/healthyenvironments/healthyneighborhoods/toxicsubstances/pages/toxic-free-kids.aspx). ### United States: Virginia House Bill 122 Virginia House Bill 122, introduced as the Humane and Toxin-Free Cosmetics Act, proposes to update the Virginia Consumer Protection Act to ban 12 toxic ingredients in cosmetic products, including formaldehyde and methylene glycol. These substances have been identified as carcinogens or linked to reproductive and immune system harm. The bill reflects a broader national trend of state-level cosmetic safety legislation, with particular focus on ingredients disproportionately found in products marketed to women of color and salon workers. Good Face will continue to monitor its status as it moves through the Virginia legislature. The full text of Virginia House Bill 122 can be found [here](https://legiscan.com/VA/text/HB122/id/3427347). ### Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) provides several risk management tools to control substances that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. Three recent updates are relevant to cosmetic manufacturers and ingredient suppliers. Cyclohexylamine (CAS RN 108-91-8) was moved from Part 1 to Part 2 of the Domestic Substances List (DSL) via Order 2025-87-20-01, subjecting it to Significant New Activity (SNAc) notification requirements. Ministerial conditions were also issued for two novel siloxane substances — permitting their manufacture or import subject to environmental release controls. Finally, the DSL was amended to add new chemicals and polymers; substances added to the DSL are considered existing and no longer require pre-market notification before use in commercial products, including cosmetics. The applicable Canada Gazette notices can be found here: [SNAC order](https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2026/2026-02-25/html/sor-dors15-eng.html); [Ministerial Conditions](https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2026/2026-02-07/html/notice-avis-eng.html); [DSL Amendment](https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2026/2026-04-18/pdf/g1-16016.pdf). ### Canada Prohibition of Asbestos and Products Containing Asbestos Regulations SOR/2018-196, enacted under CEPA and in force since December 30, 2018, prohibits the manufacture, import, sale, and use of asbestos and products containing asbestos in Canada, with limited exclusions. Exports of asbestos are similarly prohibited with narrow exceptions. For cosmetics, the regulations are particularly relevant to talc-based products, given the geological association between talc and asbestos minerals. Manufacturers should ensure raw materials are verified free of asbestos contamination in accordance with applicable testing standards. The full text of SOR/2018-196 is available [here](https://pollution-waste.canada.ca/environmental-protection-registry/regulations/view?Id=150). ### Canada P2 Planning Notice — Triclosan The CEPA Pollution Prevention (P2) Planning Notice for triclosan applies to any person importing or manufacturing 100 kg or more of triclosan per year in cosmetics, natural health products, or drugs in Canada. Its objective is to reduce triclosan releases to the aquatic environment, with a target reduction of at least 30% relative to a base year. Triclosan (CAS RN 3380-34-5) is an antimicrobial preservative found in products such as body wash, hand soap, toothpaste, and hand sanitizer. The notice remains in effect, and cosmetic manufacturers using triclosan above threshold quantities should be aware of their obligations. The full P2 Planning Notice for Triclosan is available [here](https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/pollution-prevention/planning-notices/list/triclosan-overview.html). ### China Cosmetic Safety Standard (2025) On May 15, 2026, China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued Announcement No. 48 (2026), incorporating three revised standards into the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition). The standards cover o-Phenylenol and its salts, Acid Violet 43 (CI 60730), and Mercury and its compounds, replacing the existing provisions in the 2015 edition.. The revised standards for o-Phenylenol and its salts and Acid Violet 43 take effect June 1, 2028; the revised standard for Mercury and its compounds takes effect July 1, 2026. Cosmetics already manufactured or imported before these dates may continue to be sold until end of shelf life. Notably, the Safety and Technical Standards also include reference data on the highest historical use levels of ingredients — where a formulation exceeds this level, brands will be required to submit additional documentation to demonstrate efficacy and safety.
