Meeting with Congress is not a typical Kardashian activity, but that’s exactly what happened last week when on Tuesday, April 24, Kourtney Kardashian lobbied on Capitol Hill calling for stricter regulations for cosmetic and personal-care product ingredients. Currently, according to the FDA, companies have the freedom to include harmful chemicals in their products’ formulations. This is true for hair products, skin care, toothpaste, makeup, deodorant and lip balm. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star arrived at Capitol Hill as a guest of the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which recently launched a campaign called #BeautyMadeBetter to support better cosmetics safety regulations. Kourtney’s appearance occurred on the same day as the launch of her Kourt x Kylie makeup collaboration, a new line from Kylie Cosmetics. The Kardashian family continues to expand its makeup offerings with KKW Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics, which Kardashian said are working to provide safe products that are toxic and chemical-free.

One of the major players in working toward safer cosmetics, the EWG has long worked toward achieving more regulation in the space. The not-for-profit’s Skin Deep database is a well-known resource for consumers searching for safe products and ingredients. It also offers a verification program that brands can pay for, which indicates they’ve been vetted by the EWG.

While in D.C., Kourtney took questions and talked about how she had first become alarmed at the presence of toxic ingredients in her three children’s baby-care products, a concern that spread to the potions and makeup she was using, too. In urging lawmakers to approve more regulation in the beauty industry, Kourtney said, “everyone should have the right to healthy products and personal care and that’s why I wanted to come and make this a bigger deal.” Environmental Work Group hopes Kourtney’s reach (she has a following of 62.6 million on Instagram) will result in action on a bill proposed by Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and Republican Senator Susan Collins.

Beauty giants such as L’Oréal, Johnson & Johnson and Revlon have already agreed to support the bill. Natural beauty brand Beautycounter has also actively been pushing for safer ingredients and more regulation for beauty products. Since 2015, Gregg Renfrew and Lindsay Dahl, Beautycounter’s Vice President of Environmental and Social Responsibility, have been pushing for the Personal Care Products Safety Act (PCPSA), a bill first introduced by Senators Feinstein and Collins. The bill calls for the screening of ingredients before products hit shelves and for the FDA to be able to recall products later found harmful.
