Plastic Microbeads are being phased out by cosmetic manufacturing companies worldwide due to the environmental harm caused when when these tiny microplastics enter into waterways, lakes, oceans and food supplies. Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, Unilever, Colgate Palmolive, The Body Shop and many other companies are in the process of phasing out the use of microbeads, and the state of Illinois passed legislation banning the sale of products containing microbeads beginning in 2018.
