You and Your Beauty Products Would You Like Parabens with That??
Chances are by now you’ve heard the flap about parabens. They are in everything from lotion to concealer to shampoo. Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in things we use each and every day. They are inexpensive to produce which makes them popular with manufacturers. Long shelf life is music to the ears of companies and consumers alike, as we can be slow to use some products and want them in good working order when the mood strikes us to pry open the top. There are six commonly used parabens: methylparaben, ethylparaben, p-propylparaben, isobutylparaben, n-butylparaben, and benzylparaben.
What…Me Worry?
Questions about parabens really came to the attention of the public when a 2004 study by UK researchers studied 20 breast tumors and found parabens in 18 samples. Many deodorant/anti-perspirants contain parabens and Philippa Darbre, lead researcher of the study and an oncology expert at the university of Reading in Edinburgh, noted that the chemical form of the parabens found in 18 of the 20 tumors tested indicated that they came from something put on the skin. Remember kiddies, the skin is largest organ of the body and absorbs each and every thing we put on it right into our bloodstream. Now certainly some would argue the amount absorbed is not enough to make a difference but there are also people who say global warming is a myth and that pigs really can fly. So the world is ripe with opinions on every subject and the best way to deal is to read and talk and educate yourself about whatever you may have questions about and that certainly includes parabens in your beauty products.
Marketing Ploy or Mother Earth Mantra?
Many companies now boast paraben-free products and I say, more power to them. It would make sense they would cost more to produce, much like the organic food that I love to eat, but when I see the prices they make my eyes bulge out like a Saturday morning cartoon character (are cartoons still on Saturday mornings??) Personally I am at a place where I don’t seek out paraben-free products but when I see ‘paraben free’ on the label I get sort of giddy. I feel like I am really doing myself a favor not using parabens. And this makes me ask myself if I have been brainwashed by marketing, because I know I have been smearing parabens all over my body for many, many years and so far, no problem. But isn’t that always the way ~ everyone thinks, “Oh, I’ll never be the victim of parabens, honey; I’m bullet proof.” Yeah, right. We’ll see.
Here are a few brands that offer paraben-free products:
