Does Mixa Use Microplastics?
The short answer
Most Mixa products we could analyse listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer. Of the 38 Mixa products on Open Beauty Facts with a readable ingredient list, 29 listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer — 76%. The one that came up most was PEG (Polyethylene Glycol), in 15 of them.

What this is. Ingredient-label data from Open Beauty Facts (snapshot 2026-07-31), not laboratory testing. Coverage is crowdsourced, partial and Europe-weighted, so this is 38 of the 96 Mixa entries in that database, and US formulations often differ. A flagged ingredient is not automatically harmful — a gel thickener and a solid microbead are both synthetic polymers and are not the same risk.
