Assembly Bill No. 60

CHAPTER 432

An act to amend Section 108980 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to public health.

[ Approved by Governor October 07, 2025. Filed with Secretary of State October 07, 2025. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 60, Papan. Cosmetic safety.

Existing law, commencing January 1, 2027, prohibits a person or entity from manufacturing, selling, delivering, holding, or offering for sale in commerce any cosmetic product that contains any of several specified intentionally added ingredients except under specified circumstances.

This bill, the Musk Reduction Act, would expand that prohibition by adding musk ambrette, musk tibetene, musk moskene, and musk xylene to the list of banned ingredients. The bill would also, beginning January 1, 2027, prohibit the use of musk ketone in cosmetic products in excess of specified amounts, including 1.4% in fine fragrance products, and oral products, as defined.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 108980 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by Senate Bill 39 to be operative only if this bill and Senate Bill 39 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

This bill shall be known, and may be cited, as the Musk Reduction Act.
