Are We Truly Protected? Navigating the Hazards of Everyday Substances and EU Regulations
ECHA: European Chemical Agency and the Candidate List of substances of very high concern
More than 12.000 LEGAL substances are present in our everyday products are been followed closely by the European Union to assess their capability to harm humans for their toxicity to reproduction, probable serious effects on human health and the environment, potential to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR), persistent, bioaccumulative and/or toxic (PBT) .
Many or all of these substances will fall withint the scope of the new restrictions roadmap defined by the EU sooner or later.
The truth is that substances such as VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), PFAS (Per and Poly-fluoroalkyl substances), BPA (bisphenol A), Formaldehyde releasers, Phthalates, and many more are authorized for commercialization and all living beings and the planet are exposed to them.
Staying Ahead: Our Commitment to Clean Formulas, Regulatory Compliance, and Environmental Safety
In light of these facts, our company's vision revolves around developing clean formulas that are potentially free from harmful substances that have yet to be discovered and classified. We recognize that the interests of a few can slow down and hinder legal action, leaving us inadequately protected.
We're closely tracking the Candidate List of substances of very high concern, as designated by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA). Also, we are closely tracking the lists of the European Commission Omnibus Act that constantly checks and introduces new prohibitions on certain ingredients, specifically targeting substances classified as CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction).
In addition to these considerations, we are dedicated to continuously monitoring substances under analysis by governments, as well as independent universities, non-governmental organizations, and privately funded research initiatives. Our commitment extends to closely tracking the potential toxicity of skincare products to both the environment and human health. This multi-faceted approach allows us to remain at the forefront of knowledge, ensuring that our clean formulas go beyond regulatory requirements to provide a higher level of safety and responsibility for the well-being of our planet and all its inhabitants.
Elevating Safety: Our Proactive Approach to Avoiding Substances Under Research Scrutiny
We have made the deliberate choice to distance ourselves from all substances within the purview of ongoing research, regardless of whether they receive positive or negative assessments. This proactive stance aligns with our commitment to prioritizing safety and sustainability above all else, ensuring that our products remain free from potentially harmful elements.
