This is why I introduced the Safe Cosmetics Act which calls for removal of ingredients in cosmetics that are carcinogens or cause birth defects, gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to recall dangerous cosmetic products, and requires disclosure of all ingredients on a label so that customers know what they are purchasing.

Schakowsky says she introduced the Safe Cosmetics Act to phase out dangerous ingredients in cosmetics, give FDA recall authority, and require full ingredient disclosure.

Evidence

Ms. Schakowsky (for herself, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Dingell, Mr. Evans of Pennsylvania, Mr. Khanna, Ms. Norton, Mr. Thanedar, Ms. Tlaib, and Mrs. Watson Coleman) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. Short title: Toxic-Free Beauty Act of 2025. Full title: To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ban certain substances in cosmetic products, and for other purposes.

Schakowsky took concrete legislative action by introducing the 2025 Toxic-Free Beauty Act, which directly aims to ban certain harmful cosmetic substances. This is strong evidence of effort toward phasing out dangerous chemicals from personal care products, but the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, so it does not show enactment or broader policy completion.

The bill text states it is 'To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ban certain substances in cosmetic products, and for other purposes,' and shows introduction in the House on July 16, 2025 by Ms. Schakowsky with multiple cosponsors.

The introduced bill text confirms the policy objective matches the claim: banning specific dangerous substances in cosmetic products. However, the available official record still reflects only introduction and referral, not final adoption or implementation.

The press release says Schakowsky and colleagues reintroduced the Safer Beauty Bill Package, including the Toxic-Free Beauty Act, and that the package would protect health and safety by banning chemicals known to cause significant harm in beauty products.

This official office statement confirms ongoing advocacy and reintroduction of the cosmetics safety package in the current Congress. It supports a finding of continued effort, but it is not evidence that the policy has been delivered into law or regulation.

The page says Schakowsky introduced the Safe Cosmetics Act, which 'calls for removal of ingredients in cosmetics that are carcinogens or cause birth defects,' and describes the Safe Cosmetics Act as phasing out dangerous chemicals, including carcinogens and reproductive toxins, from personal care products.

Her official issue page shows sustained support for the same policy goal over time and describes the proposal in terms matching the claim. But the page is an advocacy statement, not proof of enacted policy, so the claim remains unresolved on delivery.

The evidence shows Schakowsky clearly pursued this promise by introducing and reintroducing legislation such as the Safe Cosmetics Act and the Toxic-Free Beauty Act of 2025 to ban carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and other harmful substances from cosmetics and personal care products. However, the record provided shows only bill introduction, referral, and advocacy statements, not enactment into federal law or implementation of a completed phaseout. Under the rubric, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome is scored as never with effort credited.
