Human health is an environmental issue. Synthetic chemicals are found in almost everything we use – from food and drink, cosmetics, furniture, electronic goods, and even children’s toys. Some are harmless, but many have been linked to serious health issues.
Of British women use cosmetics, making us one of the highest users in Europe.
Regular lipstick wearers could consume nearly 1kg of lipstick in their life-time.
UK women use more than 20 different products as part of their daily routine.
