                Sephora, Ulta and more join forces to define clean beauty standards
                A collective of beauty retailers collaborated on a report categorising the safety of beauty and skincare ingredients while bringing clarity to the clean beauty sector.

The good news? Washington state and retailers like Sephora & Ulta Beauty are leading the way toward safer beauty. ππ

            Toxic #PFAS chemicals have no place in our cookware. π³ Safer alternatives already exist and states are leading the way by restricting PFAS to protect our health. 
Now is the time for more states to follow suit. πͺ

                The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about
                Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.
            
        
    
    
            Everyday plastics contain phthalatesβlinked to infertility, ADHD, premature birth, and more.
WA and major retailers have banned them in some products, but thatβs just the start. To protect our health, we must ban endocrine-disrupting additives in plastics everywhere.

                Opinion: Newsom must protect Californiaβs drinking water from microplastics
                Bill on Newsomβs desk is based on a simple premise: If plastic isnβt necessary in a product, it shouldnβt be there.
            
        
    
    
            Check out our very own Clean Water Action Legislative Director in California, Andria Ventura, discussing why CA Governor Newsom must pass legislation (AB 823) to protect drinking water from microplastics.
