Mr. John Chave:

The Deputy's statement that microplastic does not have any benefit for some of those things is not strictly true for suntan lotions. I imagine we would all accept that suntan lotions have an increasingly important health benefit. We can talk about whether certain polymers meet certain definitions of plastic – I am not qualified to comment on that – but they enhance ultraviolet quality. It is not entirely true to hold that polymers put in cosmetic products are only there for pizazz. They are not; they perform important functions not only for ultraviolet filters but across the board.
