Help us enrich our database!
Every time you add a product to our database, you help us build a case against microplastics. With every product information, we can create evidence and convince authorities about the wide use of plastic ingredients. A bit of extra effort on your side makes you a part of the fight against microplastics in cosmetics and care products.
So, go ahead, scan the barcode of your product and help us get some more information!
