Did you know that over 50% of makeup wearers use disposable wipes to cleanse their skin?
And did you also know that these wipes contain microplastics? Microplastics are not only harmful to the environment, but also stop the wipes breaking down in water after they're flushed, unlike toilet paper.
The only wipes that can safely be flushed are wipes that have passed the water industry’s standard, ‘Fine to Flush’, even though the packaging might say otherwise.
