'Forever Chemicals' and Cosmetics Oversight in 2026


Listen Later

Wayne chats with Rend Al-Mondhiry, Co-Chair of the Regulatory Practice Group at Amin Wasserman Gurnani, and Will Woodlee, Managing Partner at Kleinfeld, Kaplan & Becker. You'll hear their thoughts on FDA's recent "Report on the Use of PFAS in Cosmetic Products and Associated Risks"; how FDA and Congress might work toward addressing PFAS and other "forever chemicals" moving forward; challenges associated with state versus federal oversight on cosmetic ingredients; how the implementation of MoCRA could be changing the regulatory landscape for cosmetic companies; and much more.

In our headlines segment, Wayne highlights these major developments:

Pharma: FDA launches PreCheck Pilot Program

Devices: Two digital health and device leaders leave agency

Food: FDA finalizes policy limiting "no artificial colors" claims

Cosmetics: Virginia lawmakers introduce Humane and Toxin-Free Cosmetics Act
