In September, I'll have been with with the California Environmental Protection Agency for ✌️ years! I'm the #SocialMediaManager at the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. Since I started on the Media Relations team in 2022, I increased our social media audience by 6,943% and launched ✌️ new channels. #GovernmentSocialMedia wasn't ready for me. Hootsuite analytics show our audience growth rate is higher than the industry average & we have 4X the post engagement rate than other government agencies. Our #LinkedIn impressions doubled since I started. And despite my passionate distaste for the platform, #DTSC has never been so SEEN on #Twitter / #X until this year: 📈user profile clicks are 980% 🔺 📈post link clicks are 752% 🔺 📈impressions are 980% 🔺 📈post reactions/likes are 388% 🔺 The best & worst thing about my job is learning so much about #EnvironmentalScience that it changed my entire life. Take the green pill & join me in my crunchy era: https://lnkd.in/e5wpNkQY PS, if you're a #CaliforniaScientist, I hear you & I would give you all raises if I could. ### /// TLDR /// I'm really good at #SocialMedia, I made this video & I bum people out at parties. Filter your water & buy cleaner cosmetics.

Thrilled to see our paper published open access! It all started with a curiosity: if only a small percentage of #cosmetics list PFASs as an ingredient, are they significant #PFAS sources to #wastewater treatment plants? But how can we even figure out the total mass of PFASs in cosmetics if most of these chemicals cannot be quantified with existing analytical methods? Well, if we cannot measure it, we can calculate it, and that's what we did... a complex back-of-the-envelope calculation! We had to navigate the lack of data, but were able to design a reproducible method that allowed us to figure out an answer.

Over 1,000 lbs of 'forever chemicals' from cosmetics, especially hair care products and facial cleansers, reach California wastewater every year, according to a new study published today by our partners at the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. We're excited that data from Clearya, among other sources, could contribute to this first study ever to estimate the total mass of PFASs contained in cosmetics sold in California. 😊 Well done Simona Balan, Thomas Bruton, Christopher Leonetti, Abigail Noble, and colleagues! 👏 Read the study: https://lnkd.in/ewg6QWnr #DTSC #Clearya #ForeverChemicals

☀Regulatory Analyst at ChemLinked☀| Regulation Interpretation| Product Compliance | Registration | Food, Cosmetics, Chemicals, and Medicine | 😎L.I.O.N. | Trilingual
The Environmental Protection Authority (#EPA) of #NewZealand implemented a ban on the use of #PFAS in cosmetics on January 30, 2024. In addition to the PFAS ban, the Cosmetic Products Group Standard has undergone other updates to ensure the safety of cosmetic products and align with rules in Europe, such as "non-hazardous cosmetic products" introduction, nanomaterials record-keeping requirements, precautions and labels, etc. Details here: https://lnkd.in/gXDa4h_k #pfas #cosmetic #ingredient

Health Optimization | Owner/Physician at The Jeffery N. De Wester Treatment and Research Center (DTRC)
Is Dutasteride superior to Finasteride for the treatment of Hair Loss? Oral Finasteride has long been approved by the FDA as a treatment for hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia. Dutasteride has been shown to also be effective in treating the same symptoms, and some claims have been made that it is actually the superior drug. Does the science actually support these claims? #hairloss #hrt #trt #hairregrowth #hairlossprevention

💡 Quick Fact For those ingredients for which some concern exists with respect to human health (e.g. colourants, preservatives, UV-filters, hair dyes), safety evaluation is done at the Commission level by the SCCS. The SCCS works with 3 working groups, dealing with: − cosmetic ingredients − methodology − nanomaterials. Find out more about the SCCS on our new blog post: https://lnkd.in/dJc_6gpe #cosmedesk #software #cosmetics #regulation #SCCS #cosmeticregulatorysolutions #cosmeticregulatoryaffairs

Right now, this is what I am constantly thinking about. The amazing qualities this glove has. Attention: Electronic companies, Tattoo, Piercers, Cannabis farms, Food manufacturing plants, Hospitals, Dental. Biodegradable Companies that submit ESG reports - Manufactured with Waterborne polyurethane Breathable Much less hand fatigue - Medical, Dental, Tattoo Artists Extremely comfortable to wear because of the increased elasticity Antistatic- Electronic companies UV Resistant- Cannabus farms Resistant to oils, fats, lipids etc- Food Manufacturing Plants DM for more information. We have so many customers, we can't keep up. #sustainability #clean #environmental #esg #carpaltunnelsyndrome #foodmanufacturing #food #Medical #surgeons #comfortable #elasticity #electronics #sustainablysourced #Dental #Cannabis #cannabisfarmersunion #antistatic #water #waterborne #polyurethane #gloves #Tattoo #hospitals

Great deep dive into the world of third party certifications by Lexy Lebsack for Glossy. What’s clear is that as sensitive skin concerns grow, certifications are offering peace of mind and reassurance. Brands such as Saie and Tower 28 Beauty, Inc. are utilising third-party seals to ensure transparency and trust. With the National Eczema Association seal leading the way, other certifications like National Psoriasis Foundation and National Rosacea Society have followed suit, alongside the Environmental Working Group verified seal and Hormone University’s endocrine disruptor-free seal, they are all empowering consumers to be able to make more informed choices. However, what does this mean for brands? We’ve walked with many founders down this path and know that certification isn’t always easy or affordable. It usually involves rigorous testing and often costly changes to packaging. Despite this, we’re definitely seeing a shift in the number of brands going through the intensive certification process so they can be truly transparent and prove their commitment to authenticity and safety to their customers. #beautyindustry #certification
