Community Conversation: NY Beauty Justice Act


Join Consumer Reports, WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Clean + Healthy, and local community partners for a powerful community conversation about the Beauty Justice Act, a groundbreaking bill that would ban the most harmful chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products sold in New York State.

Hear from a panel of health experts, local organizations and advocates about how this legislation protects public health, especially for communities disproportionately impacted by toxic beauty products. Consumer Reports will share findings from its recent study on synthetic braiding hair, which revealed dangerous chemicals, including known carcinogens like benzene and lead in every sample tested. These results highlight the urgent need for stronger regulations, particularly as Black women and girls face disproportionate exposure to these toxic substances through products marketed to them.

Let’s come together, raise our voices, and demand safer products for all. We’ll have light refreshments, giveaways, and a hands-on clean beauty activity. Let’s come together, raise our voices, and demand safer products for all. RSVP today!
