Day 3 JGSPL Symposium - Maybe It's Maybelline, Maybe It's Hazardous Materials: Will Increasing FDA Oversight in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Regulation Bridge Racial Gaps in the Industry?

12:00PM - 01:15PM Zoom Webinar
 Cosmetics and personal care products affect overall health and wellness. Studies have shown that certain chemicals present in different products may be toxic and lead to an increase in disease. Products advertised toward women of color, specifically Black women, tend to have increased amounts of hazardous substances. Panelists will discuss the FDA's current role in regulating cosmetics and personal care products, and whether increasing the Agency's authority will help mitigate racial disparities in the industry.
