Paraben Free Skin Care Products – Safe Skin Care

Using paraben free skin care products is safe skin care.  Why is that?  What is paraben?  Why are parabens in skin care products and in some food?  Read this article and it will change the way you think about what is in your skin care products.

Parabens – What is a Paraben?

Paraben  is what the industry calls preservatives, better yet synthetic preservatives.  Their purpose is just that preserve or extend the shelf life of the skin care product.  The reason is the longer something sits around it is subject to spoiling.

Parabens have many names and come in various forms.  A few names: butylparaben, isoparaben, methlyparaben, and so forth.  Look at the label, if it says paraben, pass on it.  What is the problem with parabens?  Why should your skin care be paraben free?  Keep reading, the light gets brighter.

One big reason to not use parabens because they have been found in breast cancer patients. The verdict isn’t in yet, but parabens are under extreme suspicion.  Do not associate with them.  Another good reason not to use them is they are NOT necessary to use as a preservative.  There is a better way.

Synthetic ingredients such as paraben are not the only way to preserve skin care products.  There are natural ingredients that can do the same job and be absolutely safe.  Why man ever thought synthetic would ever replace natural is almost insane.

Before you buy any skin care product follow these simple steps:

1.  The Label – Read it.  If p-a-r-a-b-e-n appears leave the premises immediately.  The store does not have your best interests in mind or heart.  Be careful though the product may not use the word paraben but still have parabens in it.  Huh?  Here’s how they do it.  Fragrances are often listed as an ingredient.  What does that mean? Not that it smells good.  Companies are not required to say what is in a fragrance.  So parabens may be hidden inside.  So if paraben and/or fragrance is listed, walk away.

2. To find out what is really in the product, go to their website.  Look for the ingredient list.  If they don’t have a website nor an ingredient list, click away.  If they do, contact them and ask what is in their product.  If they don’t respond.  Go away.

3. Again, don’t buy until you know what you are getting.  If you don’t, you could be getting something your skin won’t like.  Remember parabens are under suspicion for causing what?  It starts with a C.

I am very glad I followed these steps because I found a company who reveals everything upfront.  You can even email them a question, they will answer.  Not many companies go to the trouble of looking out for their customers for the long term.

Paraben-free skin care is something that should be the future but not yet.  People are much wiser today because they ask questions, like the ones above.

In conclusion, your skin and your health are too important to keep using products that have bad ingredients, like parabens.  Don’t forget this basic fact:  What goes on your skin could be absorbed into the body and into the bloodstream.  Find a company like I did that uses only safe, real natural paraben free ingredients.
