    Beautycounter's founder & CEO, Gregg Renfrew, is in Washington, D.C. today to meet with Congress and members of the Senate to discuss cosmetic safety, and the need to reform the way cosmetic ingredients are regulated.

    Renfrew will join other industry experts at a Congressional briefing on November 17th in the Senate Dirksen Building, where they will show how the current cosmetics industry is broken, from the use of harmful ingredients to lack of transparency in the supply chain. Renfrew will be meeting with Senators asking for their leadership on cosmetic safety reform.

    Renfrew launched Beautycounter in 2013 wth the mission to create safe and innovative beauty and skincare products.

    Renfrew commented, "Nearly every major consumer category has undergone radical change in recent years – from food to entertainment to transportation. But not the beauty industry, where companies are legally allowed to use ingredients linked to breast cancer, infertility, early puberty and other health issues. Consumers are demanding more transparency and regulation, and I hope to help lead this movement that gets toxic ingredients out of the products that people use on their skin everyday."

    The Issue

    Renfrew's trip to DC comes on the heels of the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics ground breaking report which sites that environmental pollution, including toxic chemicals in consumer products, is an important factor in women's health. The report specifically addresses pre-natal exposures to toxic chemicals and the impacts on the developing fetus.

    Also recently in the news, one of the best peer-reviewed journals Environmental Health Perspectives published yet another article showing that chemicals in personal care products may stimulate cancer cells more than originally thought.

    Renfrew adds, "At Beautycounter, we are leading a movement for better beauty. We are a company who is pro-commerce and pro-regulation. While we have shipped close to 2 million products, we know it's only the beginning – there is a lot of work to be done. We are radically transforming the beauty industry by introducing safer, high-performance products into the marketplace."

    Renfrew explains more about her mission in this interview.
