One such harmful chemical that is widely found in skincare products is paraben. The most common types of paraben are - methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. You will find them in a lot of cosmetic products that you use on a daily basis, for example - soaps, shower gels, deodorants, makeup, etc. As stated by FDA, "Parabens are a family of related chemicals that are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetic products. Preservatives may be used in cosmetics to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold, in order to protect both the products and consumers." …show more content…
People who have sensitive skin, rosacea, dermatitis or eczema are strictly advised by the dermatologists to avoid the use of products containing parabens.
The first usage of parabens dates back to the year 1950. In the recent times, its usage in cosmetics has become very common. You will rarely find a cosmetic brand with an approach to make products for their customers that are paraben free.
So what exactly is paraben free skincare and is it beneficial for your skin?
The answer is, yes. By paraben free skincare, we are referring to the skincare products which are made without the use of parabens.
These are the two benefits of using paraben free skincare products -
1. Zero Skin Allergies Or
Irritations
Products containing parabens trigger allergies and make your skin look irritated. If your skin starts to turn red after using a specific skincare product, then you should take a look at its ingredients list and search for any words ending with "parabens". They are usually the ones to blame for skin flares. You will not experience any such issues with your skin once you switch over to paraben free skincare products.
2. Lower Risk Of Cancer
Researchers have found out that parabens, after getting absorbed by the skin, stimulate the over production of the hormone "Estrogen" in women and lead to breast cancer. Although, the result of the research conducted is not clear at the moment, it is still a better choice to stay away from parebens and obtain the countless benefits of paraben free skincare products.
As it is not possible to keep away the bacteria from cosmetic products and make them stay usable for longer periods, adding a preservative to them becomes a must. To preserve the skincare products for long, a natural preservative may be used in place of parabens. Natural preservatives are a great alternative to parabens as they do not cause any harm to the skin. They come with a lot of skin rewarding properties as well.
