Overview
This bill extends California’s ban on certain intentionally added chemicals in cosmetics to include vaginal suppositories containing boric acid. Starting January 1, 2027, vaginal suppository products with boric acid must carry a warning advising against use during pregnancy and other specific conditions. The bill also exempts these products if they are regulated as a drug by the FDA and requires a label warning about potential condom disruption. It builds upon existing regulations and aims to protect consumers, particularly pregnant women, from potential risks associated with boric acid use.
