Banning the use of microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products

Seeking views on the UK’s proposed ban on the use of plastic microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

We want to know what you think about our plans to ban the manufacture and sale of cosmetics and personal care products containing microbeads.

We are also looking for evidence of the effect of other sources of microplastics on the marine environment. This will inform future UK actions to protect the marine environment.
