Affected Sectors

How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

How to read this

CBO estimates are official source documents with their own assumptions, scope, and publication dates. They can score a bill, a version of a bill, or a broader legislative package.

LawLinter stores the source link from Congress.gov and does not replace the CBO document. Use these cards as pointers for source review, not as independent fiscal advice.

Summary

00 Introduced in House May 26, 2026

Cosmetic Safety for Communities of Color and Professional Salon Workers Act of 2025 This bill establishes programs and requirements to address the effects of harmful chemicals in cosmetics on consumers and salon workers, particularly in communities of color, and subjects synthetic braids to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Specifically, the FDA must establish safety standards for synthetic braids. Synthetic braids that do not meet such standards must be labeled with a specified warning. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct (or award grants for) research on harmful chemicals most commonly found in cosmetics marketed to and used by women and girls of color and professional nail, hair, and beauty salon workers. HHS must publish reports summarizing this research, including recommendations for reducing potentially unsafe exposures. In addition, the FDA must award grants to support the development of alternative, safer chemicals that may be used in place of harmful chemicals in cosmetics. HHS must also establish, through grants to eligible entities, national resource centers on beauty justice and salon worker health and safety to educate consumers and salon workers, respectively, about harmful chemicals in cosmetics. Finally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration must require manufacturers and importers of professional cosmetic products to make safety data sheets available in multiple languages for cosmetics that include certain hazardous chemicals. Employers, including salon operators, must make the relevant safety data sheet available to any employee exposed to a product subject to this requirement.
