New York Law Limits 1,4-dioxane in Household Cleansing, Personal Care and Cosmetic Products
New York recently passed a law requiring new limits on 1,4-dioxane residuals in finished personal care, cosmetics and household cleaning products sold within the state. The new law sets the following timeline for minimizing trace concentrations in the following types of consumer products, as defined:
An impurity / byproduct, 1,4-dioxane is present in trace levels of raw materials. It is used in some personal care and cleaning products. While trace levels are unavoidable in ethoxylates, alkoxylates and certain other mixtures, it can be greatly reduced with various mechanisms and process control.

Our priority is to continue providing customers in North America with products that are safe, effective and meet mandated regulations by the government.
