Most people attach great importance to their skin care and hygiene. But what many people don't know is that some conventional cosmetics and shower gel products pose an invisible danger - microplastics. Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are often used as exfoliating or cleaning components in our care products. However, these tiny particles have a significant impact on our health and the environment.
The effects of microplastics on humans:
-
Skin irritation: The sharp edges of microplastic particles can damage the skin and cause redness and irritation.
-
Absorption through the skin: Microplastics can penetrate the outer layer of skin and enter the body. This can cause long-term health problems, although the exact effects are not yet fully understood.
-
Toxic pollution: Microplastics can absorb harmful substances and release them into the body, which can lead to health risks.
The effects of microplastics on the environment:
-
Marine pollution: Microplastics often enter the oceans via sewage and threaten marine ecosystems. It is swallowed by marine animals, which can lead to their harm or death.
-
Ecological disruptions: Microplastics can end up in terrestrial ecosystems such as soil and water and impact nature and wildlife there.
-
Accumulation of microplastics in living beings: Microplastics can enter the human organism through the food chain, for example through fish that we buy for consumption in the supermarket, which in turn poses health risks.
Given these serious impacts, it is essential to avoid products containing microplastics and switch to environmentally friendly alternatives.
