'''Examples of untrue statements made by Personal Care Truth about the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 include:''''''FDA already stringently regulates cosmetics:''' The FDA currently has very little authority to regulate the cosmetics industry; FDA cannot require companies to conduct safety assessments of cosmetics or the ingredients in them, cannot require companies to assess health impacts to highly exposed populations such as salon workers, and the agency cannot even require recalls of cosmetics. FDA has far less authority over cosmetics than over food or pharmaceuticals.<ref>[ FDA Authority Over Cosmetics, last updated 12/22/09. http://www.fda.gov/ Cosmetics/ GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/ ucm074162.htm]FDA Web Page on Regulating Cosmetics</ref> 

<nowiki>'''Low doses of toxic chemicals aren’t a problem:''' Modern science demonstrates that low dose exposures from chemicals can cause great effects. Birth control bills are an example of this – tiny amounts of endocrine disrupting chemicals can prevent pregnancy. Cosmetics commonly contain chemicals that have the potential to disrupt hormones, including parabens, phthalates, triclosan and musks.

'''Natural ingredients will be banned:''' The Safe Cosmetics Act would require FDA to come up with a list of prohibited ingredients that are known or highly suspected to cause cancer or reproductive harm according to the best available science.'''“This bill will put out of business THOUSANDS of small, local, independent cosmetic manufacturers because they just can’t afford to spend the enormous amounts of money to test their products.”''': The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 would not require the testing of cosmetic products. It requires companies to submit existing safety data to FDA and sets up a system for FDA to make determinations about restricted chemicals and labeling protocols.
