On December 9, 2019 New York State Governor signed 1,4-Dioxane bill (S4389B/A 6259A) into law. The new bill bans 1,4-Dioxane in cosmetic products, personal care products and household cleansing products.
On December 31, 2022 the following limits for 1,4-Dioxane will go into effect:
• Household cleaners shall not exceed 2 ppm.
• Cosmetic products shall not exceed 10 ppm.
• Personal Care products shall not exceed 2 ppm.
On December 31, 2023 the limits for 1,4-Dioxane will be reduced:
• Household cleaners shall not exceed 1 ppm.
• Personal Care products shall not exceed 1 ppm.
A manufacturer of a cosmetic or personal care product may apply for a one year waiver for a specific product if they provide proof that steps were taken to reduce the presence of 1,4-dioxane, however they were still unable to meet the required limit.
