Skin Problems and Paraben Free Skin Care Products | ArticlesBase.com
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.
What in the world is a Paraben?
Not a strange animal. A paraben is the term used to say preservative. It is simply ingredients that promote longer shelf life. Most products sit on the shelf for sometime before purchased, so to insure that it doesn't go rotten, they put in parabens.
There are many types of parabens. Some products have several of them as ingredients. To mention a few: methylparaben, buytlparaben, isoparaben and etc. If the skin care has the name (anything)-paraben, sit it down and leave the store. I'll tell you why in a moment. Why are parabens a problem?
Parabens – Are They Dangerous?
The biggest most important reason parabens could be a problem involves your very health, maybe your life. Parabens have been found in breast cancer patients. So far there is no real proof that makes the connection that parabens cause or contribute to cancer but they are under serious suspicion. Don't wait until the jury comes back with the verdict. Parabens have been found at the scene of the crime so caution is due. Also parabens are not necessary in skin care products as a preservative.
Safer skin care Alternatives
There are natural safe ingredients that do just as well if not better. Synthetic ingredients are just a cheap way of trying to do what natural products were designed to do. Natural, truly natural, will always be safe and more effective in the long run than any synthetic, imitation anything. It is beyond me why humans have fallen into the imitation trap as if that is better. Parabens should be avoided.
Do this before you buy any skin care product and/or continue using the one you now have.
1. Read the label. If it says, paraben put it down and walk away. Be very careful in those high end expensive department stores that give free demos. Their product may not list parabens but if it lists the word “fragrance” put it down. Parabens are often hidden in the “fragrance”. Companies are not required, for some idiotic reason, not to reveal the ingredients in the fragrance.
2. Go to the website of the company you are now using or are considering purchasing from. Do they reveal the products ingredients? Do they have paraben free products?
3. Again look for parabens if listed. If not listed, ask the company if parabens are in the fragrance? If they don't tell you or don't answer back, go elsewhere.
Buy from a company who answers your questions and reveals openly what the ingredients are that they use. Ask them why they use them? Are they paraben free? I know I did and found a very honest company that gave me answers I understood. See my website for details. Also their products are not only safe but really work.
Paraben free products are hopefully what every company will have someday. But someday is not today. Consumers are getting wiser and should demand that parabens not be in their products.
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. I use them everyday and the mirror has more smiles than it used to.
