Advocacy Matters: Your Voice Can Shape the Future
The handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry, often overlooked in legislative discussions, is at a critical juncture. The Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild (HSCG) and The Coalition for Handcrafted Entrepreneurs (COHE) are urging artisans to lend their voices through a short, anonymous survey. This initiative comes at a time when the U.S. government is looking to update the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act of 1938—a reform aimed primarily at larger cosmetic corporations, leaving small businesses at risk of being overlooked.
Your Input = Power!
With over a decade of monitoring industry-related legislation, both HSCG and COHE emphasize that your participation in this survey is crucial. The results will assist these organizations in advocating effectively for small business concerns within the cosmetic space. This proactive stance ensures that Congress understands the potential adverse effects of any new legislation on small business owners, their families, and communities.
Historical Context: Understanding the Landscape
Since 1938, the cosmetic industry has evolved dramatically. However, the legal framework hasn't kept pace with the rapid growth seen in small, handcrafted businesses. By participating in the survey, entrepreneurs not only highlight their existence but also help to redefine the future of regulations that could impact their livelihoods.
