In the modern world, we are used to seeing plastic as packaging for food, bottles, bags or various objects in the house.<\/p>

However, what we often forget is that plastic is not only around us, but also on us, in direct contact with the skin.<\/p>

From clothes and shoes, to underwear, to cosmetics and small accessories that we use every day, plastic is becoming an invisible companion of our every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
