Commencing August 1, 2023, Minnesota, a state in the United States, will enforce strict controls on the presence of lead and cadmium in cosmetics. Additionally, starting January 1, 2025, the intentional use of Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) will be banned in cosmetics sold within the state.
On May 24, 2023, the governor of Minnesota signed H.F.No. 2310 bill, which covers environment, natural resources, climate and energy finance and policy. The bill includes a comprehensive ban on PFAS, as well as restrictions on lead and cadmium in certain consumer products.

Under the current regulatory framework, cosmetics registrants and notifiers can continue to submit a simplified version of the safety assessment report during the registration or notification process until May 1, 2025. Following this deadline, a full version of the safety assessment will be mandated. To facilitate a smooth transition, China is planning to release a set of technical guidelines.
The current cosmetic technical standard STSC 2015 specifies the cosmetics' general safety standards, prohibited/restricted/permitted ingredients and testing methods. It is revised aperiodically in response to changing trade practices in the industry. China is planning to issue a new version of STSC.
