I was talking with my colleagues today, we talked about hand creams. Then some how "Paraben" came into our conversation. I was surprised that not many people know about paraben.
As far as I know, paraben is used as a preservative in skin care products and cosmetic. It is said to be a cancer-causing ingredients. Thats why the new skincare product Nutox claims itself to be paraben-free. Besides, it is also a thing that can affect human reproductive system by "changing" our hormones.
However, most of the products in the market contains paraben. I looked through my skin care products. All of them contains paraben. Even my favourite and expensive dermalogica exfoliant cream., from hair range, body lotion and face products. Except for the Botani that I bought for my mum.
I think it cant be avoided. Else, I will have nothing to use. Haha!
