Jillian Vickerman, we need warning labels on cosmetics with harmful chemicals

I've just joined the David Suzuki Foundation and I'm calling on Canad''s Health Minister to protect Canadians and our environment from harmful chemicals in personal care products.

From shampoos, to soaps, to lotions, to makeup - it’s not uncommon for a single person to use 10 or more personal care products each day. But some of the ingredients in beauty products aren't that pretty. U.S. researchers found that one in eight of the 82,000 ingredients used in personal care products are industrial chemicals, including carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticizers, degreasers, and surfactants. In Canada, many chemical ingredients in cosmetics have never been tested for their effects on human health and the environment.

 

 

Tell Canada's Health Minister to strengthen Canada’s approach to regulating chemicals in cosmetics and demand clear warning labels on consumer products listing key ingredients that threaten our health and our environmental.
