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.

Siloxanes, parabens & other harmful chemicals shouldn’t be in our beauty productsβ€”but new ChemFORWARD research shows they still are, and major data gaps on ingredients still remain.

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

The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.

β€œIf any of these chemicals get into a woman while she’s pregnant, the chemicals will go right across into the baby. The placenta provides no protection at all.”

WA and major retailers have banned them in some products, but that’s just the start. To protect our health, we must ban endocrine-disrupting additives in plastics everywhere.
