Illinois Signs Chemicals in Cosmetic Products Act (July 2026)

On 10 July 2026 Illinois signed the Chemicals in Cosmetic Products Act into law. The legislation prohibits the sale of cosmetic products containing any of 24 specified intentionally added ingredients, with the ban becoming effective on 1 July 2028.

This state-level restriction adds to a growing patchwork of U.S. state chemical bans affecting cosmetics. Brands selling into Illinois should review formulations against the listed substances and plan reformulation or delisting timelines well ahead of the 2028 effective date.
