NO to cancer risk with makeup!
Tell L'Oreal to remove cancer-causing chemicals from its products, including cosmetics, anti-aging creams and baby shampoo, because we – and our children and other family members – are worth it!
Why is this important?
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics investigated L’Oreal products commonly found on store shelves, and found a shocking use of carcinogens in the mascaras, eyeliners and eye shadows. It also found cancer-causing chemicals in L’Oreal’s anti-aging creams, nail polish and hair products made by the company’s most iconic brands, Maybelline and Garnier.
L’Oreal’s kids' products aren't free of potentially cancer-causing chemicals either! The investigation found DMDM hydantoin in L'Oreal Kids 2-in-1 shampoos, a chemical that releases formaldehyde to preserve the product. Formaldehyde has been designated as a carcinogen by many authoritative, scientific bodies, including the United States National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Companies like Johnson & Johnson have already removed formaldehyde-releasing chemicals from its children's products, proving L’Oreal could and should be as well!
Sign on now, and join the chorus of moms and family members telling L’Oreal that we want products – including cosmetics, anti-aging creams and baby shampoos – that don’t contain ingredients linked to cancer!
