This chemical can be found everywhere, anywhere, and at any time; whether it's your daily cosmetics products, cleaning products or even water sources, it's there. Thousands of cosmetics brands are turning a blind eye toward this chemical, only caring for their “long-lasting”, “smudge-proof” makeup, when in reality, this deadly chemical is slowly killing thousands and millions of the human and marine population. Imagine if your life is at risk one day because of a makeup product you used.

What is this chemical, you may wonder ? 

Perfluorooctanoic Acid - a chemical deathly to marine habitat and human life.

Why should marine life be a concern of yours? In the past few years, thousands of adored products such as mascaras and foundations have been positive with Perfluorooctanoic Acid (deathly to marine habits), forming a lethal cycle on marine life and human health. Once customers wash off their makeup products containing PFAS, they are washed into drains connected to poor wastewater treatment facilities, escaping into the habitats of marine life. Not only does this poison most underwater creatures, but it also contaminates the water source that YOU drink from! And what, just for long-lasting makeup for money-making brands?

The UN health agency states that 1.7 million children under the age of five have their lives taken away each year due to polluted environments. Additionally, chemical water pollution is responsible for 1.36 million premature deaths worldwide.

If you are care about your life and underwater life, then stop buying from brands that use PFAS, and join us in boycotting the following brands: L’Oreal (Maybelline), Mac, Covergirl, Clinique, Makeup Forever, Nars Cosmetics, Estée Lauder, Quo, Marcelle, and Burt's Bees.
