Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm that pollute all ecosystems (water, soil, air), formed from the breakdown of waste, tire wear, and washing of synthetics. They accumulate in animal organisms, enter food and water, carry toxic substances, and are found in human tissues, posing a hidden health threat.
☝️ Cosmetics are one of the significant sources of pollution. Microplastics are found in many shampoos, conditioners, masks, styling products, and decorative cosmetics.
