SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) — Gov. JB Pritzker has signed a bill into law to ban companies from manufacturing or selling cosmetic products containing forever chemicals.
This ban will apply to PFAS found in makeup, hair and nail products, soaps, lotions, tanning products, perfume and cologne.Â
Sponsors said Illinois should ensure beauty products are safe for everyone.
"Prolonged exposure has been linked to a range of serious health outcomes, including certain cancers, hormonal disruption and immune system damage," said Sen. Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago).
The plan passed out of the House on a 74-38 vote but received unanimous support in the Senate.
This law will take effect July 1, 2028.Â
