Hidden Chemicals. Clear Choices.

Many consumers believe products are fully tested and regulated. Unfortunately, this is not the case; over 16,000 chemicals are present in plastics, and many are unregulated. Chemicals like Bisphenols (BPA or BPS), Phthalates, and PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are hormone-disrupting and widely used.

Use apps like Clearya and Healthy Living from EWG to help decode complex ingredient lists in personal care products and make informed choices.
