I’m assuming most producers stopped using them voluntarily when there was a spate of negative publicity, maybe there’s still some stragglers that are still selling it.
The regulations prohibit the manufacture, import, and sale of toiletries used to exfoliate or cleanse that contain plastic microbeads, including non-prescription drugs and natural health products. For the purposes of the regulations, plastic microbeads include any plastic particle equal to or less than 5 mm in size. The types of toiletries covered include products such as bath and body products, skin cleansers and toothpaste.
This isn’t already a thing? I thought everyone phased these out years ago.
