The dog ate the FDA's homework again. At the end of December, the administration failed to meet a self-imposed deadline to approve a ban of formaldehyde from hair straightening treatments like keratin and chemical relaxers. The ban was proposed way back in 2023, and its approval deadline has been pushed back several times since.
Formaldehyde isn’t one of those ingredients that gets a bad wrap simply because it isn’t “clean”—it’s a proven carcinogen. Though it hasn’t been banned nationally, its inclusion in cosmetics is outlawed in California under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. Under the Biden administration, the EPA ruled that the chemical “presents an unreasonable risk of injury to human health”—but now, under Trump, the EPA has proposed a revised risk assessment that could “nearly double the amount of formaldehyde it says is ‘safe’ to inhale,” according to the Environmental Working Group.

What does this mean formaldehyde and the hair straightening industry? At the link in bio, get up to date on the ban, where it stands, and how the administration is responding to its missed deadline.
