ChemFORWARD

Attention Students and Early Career Professionals: Consider applying for grant dollars to join us at green chemistry, alternatives assessment (AA), toxics use reduction, pollution prevention (P2), or safer alternatives conferences in 2025. We hope to see you there!

Thank you, Tom Perkins and The Guardian for this in-depth coverage of our recent report. "The report will be used as the foundation for a new industry effort to fill information gaps around the chemicals it uses, remove dangerous substances from supply chains, and advocate for shifts to safer alternatives." Contact ChemFORWARD today if you would like to take part in this monumental shift.  #CleanBeauty #ChemicalTransparency #SaferChemistry https://lnkd.in/eAzX5xEz

“Although ingredient lists are readily available, information about the potential hazards associated with these ingredients has historically been lacking.” Thank you, Craig Bettenhausen and C&EN, for this insightful coverage of our Beauty & Personal Care Intelligence Report launch discussing how approximately a third of personal care ingredients are poorly characterized and how ChemFORWARD created a collaboration between makers of personal care products, ingredient suppliers including Dow and Inolex, and the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund to tackle this issue impacting environmental and personal health.
