Wouldn't it be nice to know which chemicals are actually hiding in the that infamous ingredient list term "Fragrance"? ☣️ Get automated alerts on toxic fragrance chemicals in many products with the Clearya app thx to our collab with @CAPublicHealth 😎 👉 clearya.com/blog/clearya-cdp…

What if you could finally find out whether toxic ingredients were hiding under the word “fragrance” on your product labels, even if they weren't listed? @safecosmeticshq’s #SB312 @LetsClearya & @CAPublicHealth have made it simple! bit.ly/3oS7FT4 & bit.ly/3zUqMlO

“Marketing the same product with the same toxic chemical in international markets with majority Black and Brown women contradicts what they have said and calls into question the sincerity of their statements.” #toxictalc #JNJKnew @JNJNews
Johnson & Johnson claims to be committed to racial justice & equity, yet it is pushing its #toxictalc to women of color around the world. Tell @JNJNews to stop this environmental racism. bit.ly/JNJKnew
