Supported by HealthyBaby founder Shazi Visram and the Environmental Working Group, the legislation gives parents greater visibility into materials intentionally included in [everyday baby care products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecopeacos-bath-bundle). Beginning January 2029, manufacturers must publish ingredient information online, followed by mandatory packaging disclosures in July. Unlike restrictions targeting specific substances, the law focuses on identifying ingredients and explaining their purposes. HealthyBaby has followed similar transparency practices since 2020 and developed the first diaper to receive [EWG VERIFIED certification](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ewg-verified-pet-wipe). For HealthyBaby, the legislation reinforces its established positioning around ingredient awareness and consumer trust. Other diaper manufacturers will face additional disclosure responsibilities in California, while the state's market influence could encourage broader labeling changes throughout the baby care industry.
