Continuous Monitoring

Endocrine disruptors are substances capable of interfering with hormonal signalling, potentially affecting growth, reproduction, metabolism, or development. In our previous article, we followed sunscreen UV filters from our skin to rivers, lakes, and oceans. But their journey doesn’t end there. Once these chemicals enter aquatic ecosystems, they continue interacting with living organisms and growing evidence […]

Luxury brands rarely communicate about endocrine disruptors. Instead, they talk about innovation, excellence, sustainability and product safety. LVMH is no exception. Through its LIFE 360 environmental programme, the world’s leading luxury group presents itself as a company that places scientific expertise, ingredient safety and environmental responsibility at the heart of product development. Its public commitments

Since our previous update, we have continued contacting additional decision-makers across the cosmetics and luxury sectors regarding the presence of endocrine disruptors in consumer products and the industry’s responsibility to address these concerns transparently. To date, we have not received substantive responses. Again, silence persists. And frankly, this silence is increasingly difficult to understand. The

We said we would keep tracking. We meant it. Since our previous update, we have continued contacting additional decision-makers across the cosmetics and luxury sectors regarding the presence of endocrine disruptors in consumer products and the industry’s responsibility to address these concerns transparently. To date, we have not received substantive responses. Again, silence persists. And

Following our previous outreach to L’Oréal, LVMH, and Hermès regarding the presence of endocrine-disrupting substances in cosmetic products, we have continued this campaign by contacting Chanel. To date, we have received no response. Once again, despite the seriousness of the concerns raised, despite the scientific evidence available, and despite the public health implications involved, silence

Essential Protection… With Hidden Limits Sunscreens have become a daily essential. They protect the skin from sunburn, slow down premature aging, and reduce the risk of skin cancer caused by ultraviolet radiation. For years, dermatologists and health authorities have strongly encouraged their use. But behind this essential protection, some scientific concerns are beginning to emerge.

Endocrine disruptors have become a major issue in environmental health discussions. Found in certain plastics, pesticides, cosmetics, textiles, and food packaging, these chemical substances can interfere with the body’s hormonal system and potentially affect human health. Over the past two decades, scientific publications on the subject have increased significantly. Yet regulation continues to move slowly,

We said we would keep tracking. Here is where things stand today. Since our last publication, we have continued reaching out to key decision-makers within the cosmetics industry regarding the presence of endocrine disruptors in consumer products. Once again, we are met with silence. Silence is not neutral.Silence is a position. It reflects:– A lack

In public debate, some issues evolve quietly, almost under the radar. Endocrine disruptors are one of them. These chemical substances, capable of interfering with the hormonal system, are now associated with a wide range of health risks. The European Commission defines them as substances that can “alter the function of the endocrine system and consequently

In recent decades, growing scientific evidence has raised concerns about endocrine disruptors, chemical substances capable of interfering with hormonal systems and potentially affecting development, reproduction, and long-term health outcomes (WHO/UNEP, 2013). Despite increasing awareness, regulating these substances remains a complex and politically sensitive challenge. The case of Hawaii provides a particularly illustrative example. A Landmark
