BAHP focuses on
Promoting product safety and combating health misinformation
Product and ingredient safety is a top priority for all BAHP member companies. BAHP works with members across the value chain to inform the public, lawmakers, and other stakeholders about the industry’s commitment to safety, quality, and innovation. Health misinformation about these essential products can cause consumers to feel concerned about their safety.

Sustainability
There has been a distinct shift towards increased demand for more sustainable products in both regulation and consumer attitudes.. We continually monitor and update our members on public policy as it relates to sustainability and how it may affect members’ future product stewardship and innovative technologies..
Ingredient communication
Consistent and clear labeling requirements are important for consumer trust and compliance by product manufacturers. BAHP is actively engaged in dialogue with policymakers to ensure product ingredients are communicated clearly to consumers in a way that enables businesses to implement and continue to provide these essential products.
Federal and State Chemicals Management Programs
During a time of rapid change, it is more important than ever that companies are aware of current regulations and how they may change in the future. BAHP offers compliance resources and tools for members to ensure they are operating according to the most recent guidelines.
Consumer accessibility
Families across the nation have limited access to products such as period care and baby diapers, as studies continue to demonstrate. BAHP supports accessibility, affordability, and education to advocate for fair access to these essential products for all.
