#CleanBeautyForAll
Many of the beauty products found in the U.S. contain toxic chemicals that are banned in the European Union and other parts of the world.
The Problem:
Toxic chemicals are one of the leading drivers of climate change and a huge culprit of the biodiversity crisis which profoundly affects us, wildlife, and our environment.
Toxins that we put on our nails, hair, and skin not only bring us harm from inside our bodies, but contaminate our environment through waterways, soil, and agriculture - polluting our clean sources. This creates a positive feedback loop, which you can help to stop!
While toxin-free alternatives to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, nail polishes, makeup, etc. are now widely available, for the most part consumers can only access them through online and specialty retailers.

Study Shows ‘Forever Chemicals’ from Topical Beauty Products Absorb Through Skin
If you put some of these products directly onto your skin and they contain PFAS, there’s a very high potential for them to be transferred across the skin.
-Stuart Harrad, Co-Author of ‘Dermal bioavailability of perfluoroalkly substances using in vitro 3D human skin equivalent models’
The Solution:
Join the movement and ask mass retailers of beauty products to include options for toxin-free products, allowing us as customers to more consciously make better choices for what they put on and in our bodies and our environment.
Push for legislation that bans toxic chemicals such as phthalates, formaldehyde, parabens, and coal tar in U.S.
