Statement on 2024 Elections by Tom Myers, President and CEO of the Personal Care Products Council

The Personal Care Products Council congratulates President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and federal and state legislators across the country.

With new leadership in the White House and Congress, it is important for PCPC to ensure these officials understand the critical role the cosmetics and personal care products industry plays in the U.S. economy, job creation and innovation.

Among other things, PCPC will encourage the new administration to prioritize the continued implementation of "MoCRA" (the new federal regulatory framework for cosmetics), the movement of international goods, reduction of trade barriers, and the use of responsible and safe business practices.

PCPC is committed to working with the incoming administration while continuing to advocate for policies that strengthen the economy, enhance product safety, and promote sustainability. We believe that strong public-private partnerships are essential for achieving these important priorities and meeting the evolving needs of consumers.
