§ 111680 Cosmetic Adulteration Standards

Key Takeaways

  • •Cosmetics (like makeup, lotion, or shampoo) are considered 'bad' if they have gross, rotten, or spoiled stuff in them.
  • •Even a little bit of yucky stuff in the whole product makes it illegal.
  • •This rule helps keep people safe from using dirty or harmful products.

Example

You buy a bottle of lotion, and it smells really bad and has weird chunks in it.

This lotion is against the law because it has rotten stuff in it. The store shouldn’t sell it, and you shouldn’t use it.
