Requires that all cosmetics manufactured, sold, delivered, held or offered for sale contain a label that completely and accurately list all of their component ingredients.

## Rhode Island Cosmetics Ingredient Labeling Bill

This bill would require that all cosmetics sold, manufactured, delivered, or offered for sale in Rhode Island carry a label that fully and accurately lists every ingredient in the product. Under this proposal, consumers would be able to see exactly what is in any cosmetic product — such as makeup, lotion, shampoo, or other personal care items — before purchasing or using it.

The bill would primarily affect cosmetic manufacturers, retailers, and distributors who sell products in Rhode Island. Companies would need to ensure their product labels are complete and accurate, with no ingredients left off or misrepresented. Everyday consumers — particularly those with allergies, skin sensitivities, or concerns about specific chemicals — would benefit by having clearer information about what they are applying to their bodies.

Currently, this bill has been introduced in the Rhode Island House and referred to the House Health & Human Services Committee. The committee has recommended the bill be held for further study, meaning it has not yet moved forward in the legislative process. A hearing has been scheduled for January 29, 2026, where lawmakers and the public may have the opportunity to discuss it further before any decision is made.
