The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 - sounds good, right? I mean who doesn't want good, safe, natural bodycare products? The problem is - this bill, as written would make it extremely difficult for small bodycare product producers, such as US, to continue to do what we do best - provide small batch natural artisan bodycare products.
If you would like to continue to have the freedom to purchase affordable bodycare products from businesses such as ours, please consider signing the petition AGAINST the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010, and encourage others to do so as well!
We have no problem complying with labelling and testing laws, but this bill is badly written and lacking scientific validity.
Here are a couple of great articles about this bill.

I just wrote messages to my congressman and senator (in Ohio) on the Cosmetics Act -- asked for a review of this with an eye towards small businesses like yours or perhaps an exception to the Act for these types of products/small businesses. Perhaps some of your other loyal customers could do the same with their representatives/senators? Good luck!
