Customer behavior and potential risk caused by microbeads contaning personal care products in hochiminh City
Keywords:
Microplastic, Personal care products, Environmental pollutionAbstract
In cosmetic chemistry, the term microbeads refers to all types of microplastics (<5mm). Due to their small size and difficult to decompose, the use of products with microbeads will cause many serious consequences for the ecosystem. The article summarizes the survey results on the trend of using grain-based personal care products on the market in Ho Chi Minh City. Research results have shown that common personal care products such as toothpaste and shower gel with granules are widely circulated and up to 98% of people surveyed use at least one product. Based on the composition stated on the label, the polymer composition of the beads is acrylate copolymer. In the coming time, there is a great need for solutions to raise public awareness when choosing personal care products with particles to reduce the risk of microplastic pollution.
