These are microbeadsThey’re little pieces of plasticsmaller than a grain of sand.And they're everywhere.You might be swishing them around in your mouth!Or rubbing them in your face! Yuck!Microbeads are in lots of Stuff, but they show up most in personal care products:face soap and body wash.Toothpaste.

You could even be filling in those smile lines with the plastic in “age-defying” makeup!Companies put them in these products as exfoliants or just for texture,but there’s no proof they even help!And you might not realize that you’re using them,unless you know what to look for.

So asingle microbead can end up beinga million times more toxic than the wateraround it.Once in our waterways they get eaten byfish and other animals
