Biossance Announces the Blacklist – 2,000+ Potentially Harmful Cosmetic Ingredients on the Refuse to Use list

In California, Biossance announced The Blacklist ─ 2,000+ common cosmetic ingredients it refuses to use due to safety and environmental concerns. The regulatory environment in the U.S. affords cosmetic brands the opportunity to use potentially harmful ingredients in cosmetic products. Biossance has created higher standards by adopting rigorous ingredient selection guidelines and omitting ingredients that are potentially harmful to you or the planet.

Beginning with a list of 1,300+ ingredients banned in Europe, Biossance’s Blacklist now totals over 2,000 restricted ingredients, including conflict minerals, parabens and oxybenzone (used in products such as sunscreen and linked to mass die-offs in coral). Since its inception, the brand has delivered significant growth while doing the right thing for consumers. This has enabled consumers to select effective products while avoiding using petroleum-based or other ingredients that are potentially harmful to their skin and our planet.
