USA : CTFA now as Personal Care Products Council

At the annual fall meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures in Phoenix, the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, announced it is changing its name to the Personal Care Products Council and launched an ambitious new consumer information Web site that contains in-depth information about cosmetic safety.

Founded in 1894, the Washington, D.C.-based Council represents the global cosmetic, fragrance and personal care product industry. The new Web site, Cosmeticsinfo, is an in-depth online resource that gives consumers easy access to safety information about cosmetic ingredients and the science behind the personal care products found in nearly every medicine cabinet and cosmetic case.

The site currently contains information on 13 personal care product categories and more than 1,500 ingredients that represent a majority of all ingredients used in cosmetic and personal care products.

Additionally, cosmeticsinfo.org provides links to other authoritative bodies and to scientific research so consumers can confidently select the products that are right for them. The site will continue to be expanded and updated with new information.

“The wide range of beauty and personal care products we represent are essential to today’s lifestyles, and consumers turn to us for accurate information about them,” said Marc Pritchard, President – Global Strategy at Procter & Gamble and chairman of the board of the Personal Care Products Council.
