WVE’s mission is to rid the world of toxic chemicals that harm our bodies and planet, and through their work they are focused on legislation and initiatives for a cleaner planet and healthier people. WVE's current work focuses on:

 

Safe Cleaning: Did you know that some cleaning products contain hidden toxic chemicals that don’t appear on labels but are linked to cancer, birth defects, fertility problems, asthma, and more?

 

Safe Salons: Salon workers — a population dominated by women — are exposed to various chemicals of concern every day in their workplaces and are at higher risk of developing asthma, dermatitis, neurological symptoms, cancer and more.

 

Period Health – Detox the Box: Research shows that some menstrual and intimate care products can contain a host of chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and unnecessary allergic reactions.

 

Fragrance: Thousands of synthetic chemicals are used to create modern-day fragrances for our products, and some of these chemicals have been linked to health impacts ranging from eye and skin irritation to hormone imbalance and increased risk of breast cancer.
