On April 8, 2025, the Governor of New Mexico signed into law the Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Protection Act (House Bill 212), introducing a phased ban on the sale and distribution of consumer products containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals, including cosmetics. The ban will be rolled out in stages, with the restriction on cosmetics taking effect on January 1, 2028, and a full ban scheduled for 2032.
Starting January 1, 2028, New Mexico will ban the intentional use of PFAS in cosmetics, with a full prohibition on all PFAS-containing products taking effect on January 1, 2032.
