Termination of Listing of Color Additives Exempt From Certification; Lead Acetate
A Rule by the Food and Drug Administration on 10/08/2021
SUMMARY : The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is responding to objections and a public hearing request that we received from Combe Inc., on the final rule entitled “Termination of Listing of Color Additives Exempt From Certification; Lead Acetate,” which published on October 31, 2018. The final rule amended the color additive regulations to no longer provide for the safe use of lead acetate in cosmetics intended for coloring hair on the scalp. After reviewing the objections, we have concluded that the objections do not raise issues of material fact that justify a hearing. Therefore, the stay of the effectiveness for the repeal and delisting of the color additive regulation is now lifted, and we are amending the color additive regulations to no longer provide for the safe use of lead acetate in cosmetics intended for coloring hair on the scalp.
DATES : This rule is effective January 6, 2022.
