By Nelda Powers


There has been awareness that has been going on for a long time on the benefits of using paraben free skin care products. Most people tend to ignore these messages, since they do not fully understand the contents. The most important thing is to understand what paraben is and the reasons that it should be avoided. This product is a chemical substance that is obtained from benzoic acid and is used as a preservative.

This product has been used in cosmetics for a long time and recent research shows that they are not safe on the human skin. One might wonder the reason that cosmetics need to have preservatives. When manufactures are making beauty product, the product needs to be taken from the factory through intermediaries and finally to the consumer and still be fresh.

Thou many companies use this chemical to ensure that the product that they sell is fresh and has not been infested with fungi and bacteria, research has it that the product is not safe for human epidermis. The epidermis is the largest part of the human body and it is necessary to have it protected. If using a certain product might result to health issues, it is better to avoid the product too.

One of the dangers of using the commodities that have been made by this preservative is the possibility of getting cancer. Those who are at a high risk are those that use deodorant under their armpits. According to medical research, shaving under the armpits creates breakage that allows the absorption of the chemical in the body, thus leading to cancer of the breast. This is one of the most dangerous risk that can be caused by the preservative.

The chemical is also known to pollute the environment. It releases estrogen, which is not friendly substance. Report has it that estrogen can lead to male infertility. It has been proven to contribute to less sperm count and other disorders of reproduction. The worst part is that the chemical is in the environment and one absorbs it in the body without being aware.

The commodities to avoid are not only the creams and the lotions, but also the toiletries. It has been noted that the toiletries that use this preservative chemical contribute to feminism of men. Research further indicates that this chemical can also be absorbed by the epidermis of a woman that is expectant and affect that development of the fetuses.

These risks are dangerous and this is the reason that most cosmetic companies are going natural and making epidermis care products that have natural preservatives. This might be costly, but the benefits are worth the while. However, it might not be the best method out; people are also advised to put their natural epidermis product in the refrigerator to avoid any bacterial forming. Those who are able to make cosmetics at home are even more advantaged.

Paraben free skin care products are the best to use. It is best to avoid items that can bring risk to your body no matter how minimal.
