Is there a shark in your lipstick? Today is national lipstick day, and we want to share how you can check if your lipstick and other personal care products are shark free.

“Squalene” and “squalane” are common ingredients used in products like lipstick, moisturizer, shampoo, and sunscreen. But did you know that these ingredients are often the term used for shark?

Here is how to check your lipstick and personal care products for ingredients to ensure that you aren’t using products that contain shark:

1. If your products avoid the use of “squalene” or “squalane” as ingredients

2. If your products are plant-based or vegan (even if they include “squalene” or “squalane,” it is typically sourced from plant oils)

3. If the company you support has been certified as shark free - find the list of shark free brands here: https://sharkfree.com/supporters/

These are three great ways to check and ensure your lipstick and personal care products are shark free!

Not all squalene and squalane are sourced from sharks, but unless your product is plant-based or the brand is on our shark free list, try reaching out to your favorite companies to learn where they source their squalene/squalane. When in doubt, switch to certified shark free products!

Share your favorite shark free brands in our comments!

Rob asks, “What if pollution was illegal and we weren’t negotiating over what quantity of toxic contaminants corporations could put into our food, water, air and bodies? That’s ridiculous!

Well, the Brazilian political party, PSOL, is looking to make Rob’s idea a reality.

PSOL submitted a new Ecocide Bill to Congress, seeking to criminalize any illegal or unwanted acts that contribute to widespread or long-term environmental damage.

This bill is vital for adequate protection of the environment because ecocide must become a crime under national legislation in order to prevent the worst cases of environmental destruction and help tackle the climate crisis.

Did you know bull sharks live in and around the Amazon River and have been found 2500 miles up the Amazon as far as Peru and Bolivia?

The bill was designed to provide greater protection to the Amazon and other areas that are under constant threat. It is the first of its kind in Latin America to enter a national legislative chamber, but similar bills are being prepared in Argentina, Chile and other South American countries.

By submitting the Ecocide Bill, the PSOL party has shown that it is on the side of future generations.
