Protect Our Breasts

Encouragement Patrons - Encourage us to reach more young women to save more lives!

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States (American Cancer Society 2017).  Protect Our Breasts is dedicated to saving lives by sharing the conversation about chemicals in everyday products that contribute to breast cancer; encouraging young women to make safer choices up through their first full-term pregnancy - a significant window of susceptibility.

 

Your support helps us reach our peers

Through science based, peer to peer education, we translate endless scientific journals, books, and articles into a stream of digestible tips for a safer, healthier lifestyle. We bring awareness to college, university and high school campuses and encourage students to think critically about the long-term impacts of the daily choices they make. We only promote products that have been reviewed by our science and standards advisory board and have undergone our vetting process. This encourages industry to create safer products in the future.
