It’s proseco-for-breakfast time!

Let’s all celebrate this big change: Eastman Chemical has announced that it will stop producing two phthalates—diethyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate—both of which we have been whining about for some time. We were alerted to the great news by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the Green Beauty Team. Of course, it’s not the same as a ban, and it doesn’t mean our work here is done, but it’s nice to see business responding to consumer and public health concerns about ingredients. (Though you must wonder what they’ll be replaced with in formulations.)

But for now: Clink! Clink!
