Empowering you to avoid plastic!

If you thought the ban on plastic microbeads meant there was no more plastic in skincare, you're not alone! Over 1,100 people from the Biome community lifted the lid on a little-known truth: plastic is hiding from us in liquid, powder and microsphere form! While most respondents already felt deeply concerned about plastic pollution, many were unaware that ingredients like PEGs, acrylates, and PVP are non-biodegradable petroleum plastics that accumulate in our bodies and nature. The demand for honesty and safer choices is exactly why Biome exists. We’re here to help you become a plastic detective, and make informed decisions that align with your values. Read on for some eye-opening examples! Winners of the $100 voucher have been notified: Jennifer T., Emilia B, Jodie F.
What shocked people the most? Everyday essentials like eye drops, face moisturisers, toothpaste, makeup, and dishwasher sheets. And when they found out, 71% said they would stop buying from any brand that concealed plastic behind an "eco" label.
It’s infuriating when product labels cherry pick the ingredients or features to hero. Yet, hidden behind feel-good words like “gentle”, "soap free", and "natural oat extract", petroleum-derived polymers quietly slip by without a single warning.
I was honestly shocked to realise just how extensively plastics in disguise are being used in everyday products. There's a big battle against microplastics on our hands From here, I’m going to focus even more on helping you understand how to spot these ingredients, so you can make choices with clarity. - Tracey
