The Columbia researcher has been documenting how racialized beauty norms compel women of color to disproportionately use cosmetics—and face a higher threat from potentially harmful chemicals. She calls it “the environmental injustice of beauty.”

We also know #hairdressers have increased rates of certain cancers - what about those working in salons using #hairstraighteners? So much we don't know but we know enough to advise precaution, this should be the role of cancer charities like @CR_UK @we_level_up

[ACP @Cancer_Alliance]

We already know there are many chemicals link to cancer in personal care products + this will compound effects from exposure to #lye ? Lifestyle risk factors like obesity etc only account for a % of cancer cases, in the case of #breastcancer less than 50% for example

[ACP @Cancer_Alliance]

Its so typical to see @CRUK_Policy minimise the risk from #hairstraighteners instead of taking a precautionary approach + urging avoidance until further evidence? @we_level_up @CR_UK

[Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) @HealthandEnv]

The @EU_Commission has announced an overhaul of #EU_REACH, the legislation that regulates harmful chemicals in the EU.

❌🧪 But dangerous substances are slipping through the cracks.

New research by @BeatTheBead shows that 87% of the products from 10 best-selling cosmetics brands in Europe contain microplastics. That can't be healthy for us or our planet. Send a message to them & ask them to become 100% microplastics-free! https://t.co/W1Q4nqR4L4 #DareToCare

If the same levels of fragrance found in menstrual products were in cosmetic products, they would require mandatory labelling! 🤷🏽‍♀️ Want more period facts? Have a go at the period quiz: https://t.co/VvuW2jrQTu

⏰❗️ We are exposed to toxic #EndocrineDisruptors on a daily basis. It’s high time the @EU_Commission puts our health and the environment first.

BB creams, concealers, mascaras. Research from @WECF_FR shows too many ingredients of concern in #cosmetics! #toxicfree https://t.co/YVe6z8zmzR

[Helen Lynn 🇺🇦 @WildcardEnviro]

Ever wonder why #periods are so stimatised? Could these adverts could have sown the seed for things like 'menstrual odour'? A problem we never knew we had until someone tried to sell us a product to overcome it? Time to reclaim them! @Wen_UK @natracare https://t.co/KnsZRrajFq

[CoolGreen @CoolGreenUK]

Members from the @EDCFree coalition are calling on the @EU_Commission to ban #EndocrineDisruptors from cosmetics & personal care products.

[CoolGreen @CoolGreenUK]

Did you know cosmetics and personal care products can expose us to harmful #EndocrineDisruptors?

This is why @EDCFree campaigners are calling on @ThierryBreton, @VSinkevicius and @SKyriakidesEU to take action.
