cosmetic product testing requirements by state

What ingredient bans do I need to know about by state?

New York banned over 2,600 chemicals in cosmetics (effective 2025). California restricts formaldehyde, lead, and cadmium. Illinois, Minnesota, and others follow suit. Federal bans include mercury and certain colorants. Testing requirements depend on your ingredient list and target states. AJ Cosmo Labs app helps you identify compliant labs near you.
