Support AB 823 – Keep Plastic Microbeads Off of Our Bodies
Eliminate plastic microbeads and glitter from personal care products
AB 823 (Boerner) would ban the sale of toxic plastic microbeads in non-rinse off personal care products and cleaning products and plastic glitter in personal care products.
Microplastics have been linked to numerous health concerns, including cancer, dementia, infertility, and hormone disruption. AB 823 would ensure that Californians are using safe products and not polluting the state’s waterways.
AB 823 would ban the sale of non-rinse off personal care products and cleaning products containing plastic microbeads used as an abrasive to clean, exfoliate, or polish and personal care products containing plastic glitter beginning January 1, 2029.
