Liquid microplastics and their impact on our oceans
THE HIDDEN ECOLOGICAL THREAT IN HAIRCARE: LIQUID MICROPLASTICS AND THEIR IMPACT ON OUR OCEANS
Many rely on conventional hair care products that contain harmful ingredients, including liquid microplastics. These pollutants infiltrate our waterways and oceans.
WHAT ARE LIQUID MICROPLASTICS?
Liquid microplastics, common in hair care products, include:
CONDITIONING AGENTS: Derived from petrochemicals, they coat the hair for softness.
SILICONES: Provide a smooth finish and help detangle hair.
STYLING POLYMERS: Offer hold and texture for hairstyles.
While these ingredients may benefit hair, they come with considerable environmental consequences.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF LIQUID MICROPLASTICS
Liquid microplastics from showers enter water systems and often evade removal by wastewater treatment plants, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans. Marine life consumes these particles, disrupting ecosystems and affecting the food chain. Microplastics can harm marine animals, alter behaviours, and cause death. Their long-term effects on human health are under study, with increasing concern about microplastics in food.
