What is Paraben? I’m sure you seen or heard this term lately.

Parabens are synthetic preservatives also known as propylparaben, ethylparaben and butylparaben. Parabens can be found in make up, skin care products and personal products such as shampoos and deodorants. Parabens can cause allergic reactions, rashes and skin irritation. It’s been found that Parabens mimic the hormone estrogen.

Although there is ongoing debate whether or not products containing Parabens are safe, many companies have jumped on the bandwagon and introduced Paraben free skin care products. This is great for us consumers and not to mention very safe.

Why not take that extra step in reading the label and looking out for the words Paraben free.
