Microplastics in Cosmetics: What You Need to Know and How COMPEL Stands Apart

The growing concern about microplastics in cosmetics is shining a light on what’s really in our personal care products. These tiny plastic particles—often added to beauty and skincare formulas—can pose risks to both human health and the environment.

What Are Microplastics?

Microplastics are small plastic particles (typically less than 5mm) that are intentionally added to cosmetics for texture, exfoliation, or film-forming purposes. Common microplastics found in personal care products include:

  • Polyethylene (used in scrubs)
  • Polypropylene (used in lotions)
  • Acrylates copolymers (used in waterproof makeup and hair products)

Health and Environmental Risks

Microplastics are not biodegradable, meaning they persist in the environment and infiltrate ecosystems—especially waterways. Recent studies suggest they can absorb harmful chemicals, potentially impacting marine life and the broader food chain. Though more research is needed, some experts warn that microplastics could also pose health risks to humans if absorbed through the skin or ingested.
