Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that have become a big problem. They show up in everything from body scrubs to lotions, often hiding behind names like polyethylene or acrylates. While these ingredients may smooth a formula or add shimmer, they can build up in our water systems and even in our bodies. At Clean Maple, we made a clear decision from day one: no microplastics, ever.
What many people don’t realize is that microplastics are not just an environmental issue—they’re a health concern, too. These particles are small enough to pass through water filtration systems and eventually make their way into oceans and soil, where they harm marine life and pollute ecosystems. Some studies even suggest microplastics can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled through the air. That’s why being vigilant about ingredients matters.
At Clean Maple, we’ve committed to formulating without plastic-based additives. You won’t find synthetic beads in our Body Scrub or plastic fillers in our lotions and butters. Instead, we use biodegradable, plant-derived exfoliants and nourishing oils that do the job safely and sustainably.
Being a clean body care brand means looking at the full picture. Not just what works, but what’s right. Our microplastic-free commitment is one part of how we protect your skin and care for the planet. When you use Clean Maple, you’re not just choosing what’s good for your body. You’re choosing what’s good for the world around you.
