Yeah I haven’t seen any products with those microbeads in years.

I swear Obama passed something on this

I'm assuming most producers stopped using them voluntarily when there was a spate of negative publicity, maybe there's still some stragglers that are still selling it.

Definitely so in the EU

Made illegal in Canada in 2017.

In June 2017, the Microbeads in Toiletries Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II: Vol. 151, No. 12 - June 14, 2017. These regulations help protect the environment by reducing the quantity of plastic microbeads entering Canadian freshwater and marine ecosystems

The regulations prohibit the manufacture, import, and sale of toiletries used to exfoliate or cleanse that contain plastic microbeads, including non-prescription drugs and natural health products. For the purposes of the regulations, plastic microbeads include any plastic particle equal to or less than 5 mm in size. The types of toiletries covered include products such as bath and body products, skin cleansers and toothpaste.

Ive seen the "We have salt beads!" one recently, but none with the plastic microbeads.

Yeah...wtf, I thought everyone switched to charcoal and salt and shit like a decade ago

No wonder we all have a plastic spoon in our brains
