  1. IN-DEPTH: For clean beauty brands, getting #PFAS out of #makeup might be easier said than done

    “Even the most well-intentioned brands could experience PFAS problems.”

    "The [PFAS] compounds can be added to makeup to make products #WaterResistant, longer-lasting, and more spreadable. Until last year, there were no studies looking at how much PFAS were in North American cosmetics, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is notoriously hands-off in regulating the safety of personal care products. With that in mind, a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana University, and other institutions tested more than 200 #mascaras, #concealers, #EyeShadows, and other cosmetics from North America.

    "What they found surprised the researchers: roughly half the products they tested contained the PFAS indicator organic fluorine. Colored #lipsticks, mascaras, and #foundations advertised as '#LongLasting' or '#WearResistant' had particularly high levels."

  2. This article goes on to talk about how to limit #PFAS exposure. Too bad animals can't read news articles. But seriously, I wonder how many animals suffer from cancer as a result of PFAS? I mean, it's in the RAIN! Kinda hard to avoid rainwater -- especially if you live in nature and don't have water filters. smh

    Study finds concerning contributing factor to childhood #cancer: ‘These findings have important public health implications’

    "One of the most tragic and mystifying conditions a human being can experience is childhood leukemia. This potentially deadly cancer occurs at an incredibly young age before the patient has even been exposed to most of the risk factors usually associated with cancer.

    "However, Environmental Health News (EHN) reports that a recent large study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute links childhood leukemia to a frighteningly common type of chemical: PFAS.

    "PFAS (#perfluoroalkyl and #polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as 'forever chemicals,' are a class of chemicals used in as many as 88% of #HouseholdProducts, especially those with #nonstick, #StainResistant, and #WaterResistant treatments. They’re called forever chemicals because they take an astronomically long time to break down, building up in the #environment instead as more are released.

    "Unfortunately, PFAS have been found in water sources all over the world, including #raindrops, and they have been suspected as a likely cause of cancer."

  7. Happy to report that slow cooking my #wristwatch at 60 °C for 8+ hours successfully removed all moisture from its (not really) #WaterResistant case. I can't confirm whether this is a #Casio sanctioned maintenance procedure.
