To work with Made Safe, brands must be prepared to take a journey to formulate even better products. It is rare for a brand to have all products meet the certification guidelines out of the gate and it may take a few years to get all products certified. madesafe.org/science/process…
Tell your U.S. Reps we have the #righttoknow that our cosmetics are safe! Support Rep @janschakowsky’s Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act of 2018 to ban toxic chemicals and require fragrance ingredient disclosure. bcpp.secure.force.com/action…

so for example if a make-up kit with eye shadows, blush, lipstick, etc., all contain lead, and all the products are meant to be worn together (obviously), Prop 65 considers it separate products and each would have to exceed the level for a warning requirement.

It does if the levels are high enough to warrant warnings. This happened with 1,4 dioxane and caused companies to reformulate to less than 10 ppm. The problem with Prop 65 and cosmetics though is that it does not consider cumulative exposures.
