Why Avoid Parabens?
Parabens are synthetic preservatives (methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and others) used in cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, and some food products. They are estrogen mimics — research has detected intact parabens in breast cancer tumor tissue. The European Commission has restricted several long-chain parabens in cosmetic products. Parabens are readily absorbed through the skin, making leave-on personal care products the highest exposure concern.
