While industry and government officials debate the safety of nanotech, 256 popular products have already been identified where nanomaterials are listed as ingredients. Products include eye liner, moisturizer, bronzer, lip balm and sunscreen.

Take action now: Urge FDA to request that nanomaterials be clearly identified and assessed for safety before they are used in personal care products.
