This was the first link I found so in the interest of fair and balanced, this is co-sponsored with Susan Collins (R). Fully backed by: Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Revlon, Estee Lauder, Unilever, and L’Oreal.
Seriously, are the hippies really eating this much into the profits?
Is someone dying from the use to these alternative products? Some would argue it's more dangerous to use the big company products with the various chemicals.
If you think that's the problem... fine - ban the hazardous substance. This requires no action unless there is an offense.
But why... authorize the FDA to collect user-fees from personal care products manufacturers similar to what is done for medications and medical devices ?? Obviously there are interests that what to make operating costs higher to keep competitors out.

You don't need to collect fees to enforce a law.
You have much to learn, the law is in place so they can collect the fees.
The law is just a tool to be used to increase the power of government.
