Stop toxic chemicals in cosmetics - email your EU representatives
Right now, EU politicians are deciding whether toxic forever chemicals (PFAS) will be allowed to stay in the products we rub on our skin every day.
These chemicals don’t just disappear. They build up in our bodies. They are linked to cancer, immune system damage, and harm to babies and children [1].
These decisions are being made now, behind closed doors. This is one of the last moments when public pressure can still change the outcome - before political deals are locked in.
Email your MEP and demand clear red lines:
- No carcinogens or PFAS in cosmetics
- No extra years on the shelf for toxic products
- No weakened labels that hide risks from consumers
- Our health must come before chemical industry profits
Our bodies are not testing grounds. Our health is not up for debate. Let’s make sure EU law reflects that.
When you write your email:
- Say why this matters to you (e.g. as a consumer, parent, healthcare worker)
- Mention your country or community
- Highlight the risks for women, babies, and children
- Ask them directly to defend strong rules on chemicals (carcinogens and PFAS) in cosmetics
Personal, thoughtful messages carry far more weight than copied text.
Your voice matters most before decisions are locked in.
Thank you for taking action to protect our health.
To the European Commission, European Parliament and Council of the European Union
