You may well be a hardcore eco-warrior but still polluting without knowing due to those tiny plastic particles called microbeads.

Microbeads

Microbeads are tiny plastic particles that are usually less than 1 millimeter wide, almost too small to even be seen.

You will find them in scrubs, face wash, toothpaste and other personal care products. Being cheaper than their natural substitutes to manufacture, they have found their way in our day to day products since the early 90s.
