The regulations prohibit the manufacture, import, and sale of toiletries used to exfoliate or cleanse that contain plastic microbeads, including non-prescription drugs and natural health products. For the purposes of the regulations, plastic microbeads include any plastic particle equal to or less than 5 mm in size. The types of toiletries covered include products such as bath and body products, skin cleansers and toothpaste.
I’m assuming most producers stopped using them voluntarily when there was a spate of negative publicity, maybe there’s still some stragglers that are still selling it.
This isn’t already a thing? I thought everyone phased these out years ago.
Yeah…wtf, I thought everyone switched to charcoal and salt and shit like a decade ago
No wonder we all have a plastic spoon in our brains
Thats what I thought.
Ive seen the “We have salt beads!” one recently, but none with the plastic microbeads.
Made illegal in Canada in 2017.

Definitely so in the EU

I still have plastic dust stuck in my balls and cerebellum.
