 Microbeads, those tiny multicoloured beads present in your face and body wash's are in fact a significant contributor to pollution. Never thought that such small things could cause so much damage. Where products are washed down the drain after use, microbeads flow through sewer systems around the world before making their way into rivers and canals and ultimately, straight into the seas and oceans, where they contribute to the plastic soup. Not only are microbeads not the best thing for our skin but they are also harmful for fishes. Why are young kids stopped from using the products which have microbeads? Because they're small and can choke on them. The same thing goes for fishes. Some countries like the U.S. have already started taking steps against these products. Some major companies such as L'Oreal Paris and Johnson's & Johnson's have stopped manufacturing such products |
