Cosmetics industry misleads consumers and government: Microbeads in personal care products are not phased out at all
The European cosmetics industry is misleading consumers and governments. The industry stated in 2018 that the use of plastic microbeads had decreased by 97.6% and pledged that no more personal care products with plastic microbeads would be sold by 2020. However, such products are still offered for sale, according to scientific research.
