The flagship projects of BCAM are listed below. The majority of our time and resources are dedicated to the development and publication of the BCAM Bulletin, education and activism around the campaign for safe cosmetics, and our newest youth oriented project, FemmeToxic. Browse the following three menus to learn more about these campaigns and to learn about how you can get involved.
BCAM wants the safety of cosmetics and personal care products to be improved and we provide information about dangerous ingredients so you can make informed decisions. BCAM offers opportunities for action as well as educational workshops about safe cosmetics for youth and adult audiences. Call to book!
BCAM's Bulletin is a lifeline to members, providing news of BCAM activities, upcoming events related to breast cancer, original reports on breast cancer, events, opinion pieces by BCAM members, book reviews, and more.
FemmeToxic's goal is to educate young Canadian women about the potential dangers of cosmetics ingredients and provide people with the tools they need to create personal change and to influence national legislative reform. Refuse to be “toxified”! Demand safer cosmetics!
Becoming a Chemical Detective, provides a framework for recognizing the risks of environmental chemicals in our homes.
