Plastic in Our Bodies and Now Our Brains?

Plastic pollution has been a growing concern for years, but recent studies have revealed something even more alarming, plastic particles are now being found in human brains. We already knew microplastics and nanoplastics were making their way into our bodies through food, water, and air. But the discovery that these tiny particles can cross the blood-brain barrier raises even more questions about long-term health effects.

Can We Avoid Plastic Completely?

Unfortunately, in today’s world, avoiding plastic entirely is nearly impossible. It’s everywhere from food packaging to clothing, and even in personal care products. One of the biggest culprits? Plastic bottles. Studies show bottled water contains significantly more microplastics than tap water. And when it comes to skincare, plastic tubes and containers contribute to both environmental waste and potential contamination.

Choosing Better Alternatives

While eliminating plastic completely might not be realistic, we can make better choices. When I started True Organic of Sweden, I made a conscious decision to package our organic skincare products in sustainable sugarcane tubes and glass bottles instead of conventional plastic. It’s about the entire product, inside and outside. Sustainable packaging matters just as much as organic ingredients when it comes to protecting both our health and the environment.

Simple Ways to Reduce Plastic Exposure

If you are looking for ways to minimize plastic in your daily life, here are some simple steps:

Ditch plastic water bottles and Invest in a reusable glass or stainless steel bottle.

Be mindful of skincare packaging -  Choose brands that prioritize sustainable packaging, like ours.

 Reduce single-use plastics . Opt for refillable or compostable alternatives when possible.

Support organic and eco-conscious brands. Not only do they avoid harmful chemicals in their products, but they often use environmentally friendly packaging.

Every small change adds up. While plastic pollution remains a global issue, conscious choices like switching to sustainable skincare packaging help reduce our exposure and environmental footprint. Together, we can push for a cleaner, healthier future.
