I’m happy to say that the state I live in, Illinois, banned them in June.

Hopefully more people & places will institute a ban.

Golly, that’s dreadful! I’ll make sure we don’t buy exfoliating scrub type products.

I found the website didn’t like my browser, but did manage to check the list of products containing microbeads eventually. It’s terribly long. 🙁

It’s so depressing isn’t it? Thank goodness there are people who care and alert us to these things.
