All the original and traditional substances where it is biodegradable alternatives are replaced over these years by a non-biodegradable, cheap, tiny plastic particle which is called microbead. The pollution that caused by microbead particles from the personal care products such as facial scrubs has been well established around the world and leads a concern at local, regional, national and global levels due to the adverse effects towards aquatic marine ecosystem.
