Lead interim policy: data collection guidance webinar
Manufacturers who chose Option 2 to comply with the Interim Lead Policy can register for an online information session on June 11, 2025, at 9:00 am PDT to learn about the lead in cosmetics data collection and ask questions.
- We will walk you through the data collection template and explain how to use it.
- There will be time to ask questions about testing, retaining data, and data submission.
- You can invite your third-party laboratory to attend. Every attendee needs to register.
If you are unsure if you should attend this webinar or need to collect lead data for your products, review the Information on Data Collection publication for guidance. Questions can be directed to ToxicFreeCosmetics@ecy.wa.gov
Reminders for retailers and cosmetologists
-
Remember the sell-through period. If you are an in-state retailer and had products on hand as of Jan. 1, 2025, you can sell those through the end of 2025. Products you purchased after Jan. 1, 2025 for use or resale must comply with TFCA.
-
Contact your distributor to confirm the products you’re buying do not have chemicals restricted by the Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act (TFCA). If your distributor doesn’t know, let us know, and we can work with them.
-
Check products for restricted chemicals. For more detailed guidance, read our Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act Guide or email us for help.
