Children banned from buying anti-ageing skincare in Sweden

30 May

If you are 15 or younger and live in Sweden, you will no longer be able to buy skincare products with AHAs, BHAs, vitamin A (retinoids) and vitamin C at your local Apotek Hjärtat. The leading chain of pharmacies in the country has introduced age limits on anti-ageing and “advanced skincare” products, in an effort to put a stop to a rising phenomenon known to many as ‘Sephora Tweens’ – young kids using viral skincare products prematurely and damaging their skin. “Using advanced skincare that, for example, aims to reduce wrinkles and get a more even skin tone is not something a child needs,” said Annika Svedberg, chief pharmacist at Apotek Hjärtat, which has around 390 stores around Sweden.

What it means for Rwanda to have banned skin

Rwanda has become the first East African nation to ban skin bleaching creams, with the government sending out a task force which has seized over 5,000 products – some of which have the ability to damage your insides and scar and burn your skin. Mercury and hydroquinone, found in illegal skin bleaching creams worldwide, can have a toxic effect on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, and on the lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes. They can also permanently destroy melanin. In November, Rwanda’s president weighed in on a Twitter discussion, stating that skin bleaching, known as “mukorogo” in Rwanda, was “Quite unhealthy among other things.

Aesop’s Queer Library Returns, Spotlights Banned Books by LGBTQ

Aesop is bringing back Queer Library for Pride Month — this time, with a mission to combat book bans and classroom censorship bills. The initiative will take over three Aesop outposts in Recent York, Los Angeles and Toronto from June 20 to 25, allowing visitors to to browse and take home books by LGBTQ authors, which have been banned or challenged across North America, freed from charge. “It’s necessary that folks have access to representation — not only so that they can see themselves in these stories, but in addition because education ultimately creates empathy and understanding,” said Catherine O’Dea, general manager of worldwide sustainability and growth at Aesop. In accordance with the American Library Association’s Office for Mental Freedom, 2022...
