There are many things you need to look out for when picking skincare products for you and your family, aside from basic things like cost and brand. And many of us do, looking at ingredient lists to ensure there are no dangerous chemicals in the products we buy. But what if I told you that there’s a secret ingredient that can hurt you that might not be on these labels at all?
Microbeads are little pellets that can be found in many of the over-the-counter body scrubs, toothpastes, and face washes on shelves today And if you’re wondering what exactly these microbeads are, they’re plastic - not something you want in products you and your loved ones use. (1)

To better understand the danger of microbeads, we need to know where they came from. Well, microbeads were created by a man named John Ugelstad in 1976, which was a pretty big discovery at the time. In fact, at the time, the little pellets were thought to be able to assist in the production of pregnancy tests, the research of HIV, and even in the treatment of cancer.
For a microbead to be microscopic enough to be considered a microbead, its diameter needs to be between .5 and 500 mm. This size is what makes it not only a danger for humans, but also the environment, as we may not even know how much of these substances we’re being exposed to due to their size and prevalence. (2)
The danger of microbeads is so severe that Congress has passed limited legislation partially addressing microbeads because of their severe environmental risks. However, they don’t go far enough to address these dangerous chemicals, giving manufacturers the opportunity to still include them in their products – which doesn’t really help us at all! (3)
WARNING: Microbeads are often included to preserve the shelf life of over-the-counter products containing other dangerous chemicals and ingredients. Enjoy the ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS found in GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL FACIAL CARE SYSTEM, and achieve your smoothest skin ever today! (4)
Microbeads are comprised of a compound called polyethylene, but they can also be made from these other chemicals called petrochemicals, which can include polystyrene and polypropylene. The composition of these microbeads helps to explain why they’re so dangerous to the environment, as microbeads have a really hard time breaking down.
Over-the-counter manufacturers try to hide microbeads in their products by using different names on product labels. GO ALL-NATURAL today by using the ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS in GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL FACIAL CARE SYSTEM!
Not only that, the fact that they can be found in so many over-the-counter products makes matters only worse for the environment, as they can easily enter water deposits. And we’re talking A LOT of microbeads, as a simple over-the-counter body wash can have more than 100,000 bits of microbeads, and an over-the-counter facial cleanser can have almost 300,000 microbeads. (5)
There really is only one way to solve this microbead crisis in the skincare industry and the environmental crisis that’s unfolding all around us, and that’s to not buy products that contain them. This can be difficult when shopping, so to be safe, always opt for 100% ALL-NATURAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS! (6)

HOW TO DETECT THEM
Everyone knows the word microbead is bad, which is why you won’t find it on the ingredient label on aisles at markets and pharmacies. What you can expect to find are words like nylon, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate – none of which probably sound like the kinds of ingredients you want for you or your loved ones.
And that’s not all. Many over-the-counter brands choose to continue to include microbeads in their products, while others have said they plan to ease the use of them over time. This potential promise doesn’t help you or your family right now, which is why it’s important YOU take action to exclusively use 100% ALL-NATURAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS right now. (7)
Microbeads can cause significant harm to the water supply and marine life. Protect the environment the ALL-NATURAL WAY with only the finest ingredients found in GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL FACIAL CARE SYSTEM today!
And here’s something else that may be shocking about the widespread use of microbeads: over eight trillion bits of plastic microbeads are dispersed in water every single day. I’ll repeat that: eight trillion chemicals are entering the water every day, which doesn’t sound like something that should be simply eased out over time. (8)
WARNING: Microbeads can be particularly found in over-the-counter exfoliating products. Exfoliate the ALL-NATURAL WAY with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL FACIAL CARE SYSTEM, and enjoy smoother, acne-free skin today! (9)
What’s even worse is that many times, the use of microbeads in over-the-counter skincare products can sometimes be used simply for visual purposes! These manufacturers think seeing and feeling these bits of plastic will make you feel cleaner, when in reality they’re simply hurting you and exposing you and the environment to chemicals and harmful pollutants.
And not only can these chemicals hurt you, but they’re also dangerous to marine animals and animals in the wild. Animals can ingest these bits of plastic, which can affect an entire food chain, especially fish and other vulnerable water-based animals. (10)
Other often overlooked skincare products that contains microbeads are shampoo and hair care products. Be aware of shampoos that contain these plastic particles, as they can easily enter the drain with water in large numbers, potentially affecting even more marine and wildlife. (11)
