ACI is delighted to bring our Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Forum on Cosmetics and Personal Care Products to the West Coast this fall. This conference, like its East Coast sister event held in New York each spring, will be national in scope, however, it will have a special focus on legal and regulatory initiatives in West Coast states. There will be featured sessions on the Golden State of California which is known for setting the bar high not only for itself- but for the rest of the nation -- on product safety and compliance as well as privacy. We will also examine the latest developments in Washington state with its new Toxic Free Cosmetics Act.

MoCRA is now law- Prepare for the next stage of implementation.

Since its passage last December, the Modernization of Cosmetics Act (MoCRA) is dramatically changing the personal care and cosmetics industries. Our forum will provide an opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and gain critical insights into MoCRA’s latest implementation measures and provide you with a blueprint to design your MoCRA compliance plan in time for the year-end deadline.

Get critical information from the “who’s who” of cosmetics law and regulation on key developments affecting cosmetics and personal care products.

Get critical information and analyses on the latest hot-button challenges impacting the cosmetics and personal care products industries. Our renowned speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including crucial challenges surrounding packaging and recycling laws, advertising claims, AI, clean beauty, ESG and more. We will also address developments in PFAS, Prop 65, and class action litigation.
