No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn’t have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.

The brushes and loofas also contribute to micro plastic pollution.

Tbh many brushes and loofahs are plastic and erode into microplastic too.
