California has reintroduced a bill to ban the sale of over-the-counter anti-aging products to those under 18. Originally proposed last year, it aims to prevent minors from accessing items containing potentially harmful ingredients like retinol and alpha hydroxy acids. Dermatologist Dr. Toral Vaidya warns that these products can irritate and harm young skin. If passed, stores will need to verify the age of purchasers, ensuring minors cannot buy these products, reflecting growing concerns about the impact of such cosmetics on youth.
California's legislator has reintroduced an assembly bill to ban the sale of over-the-counter anti-aging products to those under 18, seeking to protect young skin.
The bill would prohibit products with specific ingredients like vitamin A derivatives and alpha hydroxy acids for minors, aiming to safeguard their skin health.
Dr. Toral Vaidya expresses concern over young patients using anti-aging products, noting they can cause redness and irritation on juvenile skin.
If enacted, the law mandates age verification for purchasers, requiring stores to check IDs to ensure compliance with the new restrictions.
