Ep. 474: How Cosmetics Are Regulated, with Kelly Bonner
As an advisor to numerous clients in the beauty industry, trial attorney Kelly Bonner plays a part in America\u2019s complex system of cosmetics regulation\u2014and she\u2019s here to tell us about it. What does \u201cnatural\u201d mean when it comes to hair care? Is topical collagen improving skin the way customers think it is? These are just some of the questions currently up for debate in the courts, as Kelly explains. Plus, she tells us how beauty brands test for safety and try to ensure their marketing doesn\u2019t mislead customers; what you can do if you\u2019re unhappy with a product\u2019s performance; how the regulation of cosmetics differs around the world; and the reason the F.D.A. once used a traveling sideshow (called The American Chamber of Horrors!) to advocate for consumer-safety laws in the early 20th century.
