Beauty Justice

A 2009 study commissioned by the Environmental Working Group found that the blood of newborn African American, Hispanic and Asian children had over 200 chemicals. We believe that consumers have the right to know what is in the personal care products, such as soap, lotions and fragrances we use daily. We also believe that consumers should not be responsible for shopping their way to protect themselves and their loved ones, especially since safer products are often more expensive and unavailable in lower-income and predominantly Black and Brown communities.

We continue to work with our strategic partners, which include consumers, researchers, advocates and salon workers, to push for more exposure prevention and affordable and accessible alternatives.
