California DTSC Seeks Information On Nail-Care Product Content, ‘Green’ Alternatives
Executive Summary
California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control is collecting data on nail product ingredients, impurities and purported “green” or “safer” alternatives via an information call-in, which could lead to Priority Product listings or support alternatives assessment activities under the state’s Safer Consumer Products regulation. Companies do not have to answer the call, but the DTSC will be posting a Response Status List.
