A Public Health Scandal, Fully Acknowledged
Every day, millions of people are exposed to endocrine disruptors through everyday cosmetic products. Perfumes, sunscreens, skincare and haircare products contain substances whose effects on human health are known, documented, and widely recognized by the scientific community.
This scandal is neither the result of ignorance nor of error. It is the outcome of deliberate industrial choice
Endocrine Disruptors: Serious and Long-Lasting Risks
Endocrine disruptors interfere with the hormonal system, even at low doses. They are associated with severe health effects, including fertility disorders, hormonal and thyroid dysfunctions, hormone-dependent cancers, developmental disorders in children, as well as neurological and metabolic damage.
These effects may appear years after exposure and affect both women and men.
Cosmetics: A Massive and Daily Exposure
Cosmetic products are applied directly to the body, often several times a day, from adolescence onward. This exposure is chronic, cumulative, and largely invisible.
Perfume is the most striking example: an emblematic product, shielded by industrial secrecy, it largely escapes transparency requirements while subjecting users to long-term exposure.
Technical alternatives to endocrine disruptors exist. They are known, controlled, and already used by some market players. If major brands continue to use these substances, it is not due to scientific constraints, but to the preservation of profit margins.
In order to maximize profits, companies knowingly accept exposing entire populations to health risks they are fully aware of.
Our Mission: Inform, Confront, Hold Accountable
We formally contact brands and their executives by letter and email to ensure they are fully informed of the risks and of the existing alternatives. From that point on, no one will be able to claim ignorance.
If, once informed, decision-makers choose inaction, their responsibility will be engaged. We will act to ensure that responsibility is publicly, civilly, and—where facts justify it—criminally enforced.
These effects may appear years after exposure and affect both women and men.
Our Objective
1.
To put an end to unnecessary exposure to endocrine disruptors.
2.
To require their replacement wherever feasible.
3.
To break opacity, confront marketing narratives with reality, and ensure that public health prevails over financial interests.
