Every day, millions of people — especially young people — use beauty and skincare products that contain invisible plastic particles known as microplastics.
These microplastics are found in face scrubs, shower gels, toothpaste, makeup, and more. When we wash them off, they go down the drain and pass through water treatment systems, ending up in rivers, seas, and oceans.
Once in the water, they are eaten by fish and marine animals, entering the food chain — and yes, sometimes coming back onto our plates.
According to a 2019 study by WWF and the University of Newcastle, humans ingest up to 5 grams of plastic every week — that’s about the weight of a credit card.
This plastic comes from the food we eat, the water we drink, and even the air we breathe. And microplastics in cosmetics are part of this invisible pollution.
These plastics never fully break down. They pollute marine ecosystems, harm wildlife, and contribute to the global plastic crisis.
All this damage — just for a little glitter or texture in a cream?
We demand an immediate and complete ban on microplastics in all cosmetic products across Europe and beyond.
Eco-friendly alternatives already exist — we need to make the switch now.
It starts with you. Say no to plastic in your products — and in your body.
