PROHIBIT the Manufacture and Sale of Cosmetics Containing Microbeads in Minnesota.

 

To keep Minnesota waters safe and clean like lakes and rivers by stopping microbeads pollution and encouraging cleaner

and safer cosmetic products for everyone.

 

 

This bill would require Minnesota companies to stop selling cosmetic products that contain microbeads because they

pollute lakes and rivers, harm fish and wildlife, and can even affect human health. Microbeads don’t break down and

accumulate in the environment, causing lasting harm. Microbeads enter the food chain when aquatic life in our lakes

ingest them, absorbing and transferring toxins that eventually reach humans. Because Minnesota relies on clean water and

a healthy ecosystem, banning these products protects nature, public health, and future generations while encouraging

safer alternatives. Additionally, the ban could drive innovation in environmentally friendly products, increase consumer

awareness about pollution, and showcase Minnesota’s leadership in environmental protection.
