Punks not dead! 🤘

@EUCommission
But we can't order those new colors from the small producer because the PPWR made it so that he stopped selling to other EU countries.
Buying the chinese stuff instead. No PPWR blockage there.

@EUCommission I'm even surprised that the regulation came so late.
In 1993, I lived in a non-EU country where strong red colours were trendy at that time. You could buy cheap colour powders on wild markets, which were not henna but a toxic mix of heavy metals.
Doctors wondered why so many women got massive hair loss.
The richest bought EU products. But at that time, too much colouring even with that damaged the hair. And I’m only talking about direct damage.

@EUCommission Are you having ChatGPT write these posts for you.

@EUCommission I love this. It feels good knowing that I can trust European products. Same with the tattoo colors a few years ago. Journalists were writing fear-mongering articles about how there would be no more tattoos with the color blue because the EU was banning some ingredients of the ink. Instead, the companies producing the ink adapted, created better products and now tattoos are safer than ever.

@EUCommission It seems a mistake to paint hairdressers as the bad guy here, rather than the companies putting the harmful chemicals in the product in the first place

@EUCommission It's nice you enact policy directly benefitting your social media spox @hpod16 😀

(generally it's a good thing though, and with my weekly dye job I am grateful too)

@EUCommission you're pushing small business out of business, while big businesses and the rich can absorb the costs without a care due to your ridiculous and dystopian one size fits all approach to packaging and waste...fix it, make it fair, prove you actually care for all Europeans, not just those with the money, and the gifts!

@EUCommission I can already hear people saying, "We don't care whether it's a danger to health. We just want the cheapest products on the market and make money!"

It happens already in electronics, fashion, etc.

Many don't care about public safety. They only care about the immediate effect on them and that's the pocket.

@EUCommission

Some substances once used in hair dyes were linked to serious health risks. So, we restricted them in the EU cosmetics market.

No public drama. Just dangerous products replaced on salon shelves by better ones.

Good
But manyChemicals used in hairdressers shops and homes are still dangerous especially with continous usage..

See hair sprays in particular. Inflammable and carry health risk warnings.

Formaldehyd.Phthalate, Ethanol und Isopropanol are toxic and cause dermatitis

@EUCommission all eyes on John 😂

@EUCommission

Woh, woh, woh. No changes with the blonde colors. Our Deerns in Hamburg will freak out.

Just do it and be silent ;-)
