Microplastic ingredients or microbeads are widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. They are often intentionally added to cosmetic products. To achieve a desired texture, as an abrasive element in scrubs or toothpaste, as glitter in shampoo and even as a cost effective filler. These microbeads harm your health and the environment. When they are rinsed down the drain, they infiltrate the water supply and are difficult to remove. Want to know if there are plastics or dangerous plastic additives in your cosmetics and personal care products? There’s an easy way to find out!
