Personal Care Products Council

“Cosmetics and personal care products should be among the first sectors addressed by the U.S.-China Board of Trade. PCPC views the U.S.-China Board of Trade as a significant opportunity to advance the industry. This high-performing manufacturing sector supports more than 2.6 million U.S. jobs, drives nearly $500 billion in economic activity in the U.S., and delivers trusted, innovative products to consumers worldwide. Yet trade barriers continue to restrict market access, raise costs, and put companies in the U.S. at a disadvantage.”

Fireworks, family, fun—and sunscreen. ☀️
 
Whether you’re firing up the grill, heading to the pool, catching a parade, or settling in for fireworks, don’t forget to make sun protection part of your Fourth of July plans.
 
Sunscreen helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays so you can focus on enjoying the holiday. Wherever you’re celebrating, remember to apply and reapply as directed.
 
Have a safe, sun-smart Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

It’s UV Safety Month. What are UV filters and why do the matter?
 
UV filters are essential ingredients that help protect skin by absorbing, scattering, or reflecting harmful UV radiation. By filtering out UV rays, sunscreens help reduce the risk of sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer.
 
As sunscreen science continues to advance, expanding access to innovative UV filters can help modernize the U.S. sunscreen landscape, increase consumer choice, and provide more options to support skin cancer prevention.
