Anything ending in \u201c-paraben\u201d? If so, it\u2019s not surprising to say the least. <strong>Parabens are in almost everything on drugstore shelves<\/strong>. They are ubiquitous, but does use cause long-term issues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parabens are preservatives used in cosmetics, medicines, and food. The more the public demands more information and transparency around what they are consuming, the more we learn about ingredients. And as it turns out, despite their frequent use, parabens can actually be quite harmful.

The most common parabens in skin and beauty products are methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These substances are usually colorless and are almost odorless and tasteless. Thanks to that, they lend very well to many different types of products from food to medicines to beauty products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, parabens are nothing new. They\u2019ve been popping up in commercial product recipes since the 1920s. It wasn\u2019t until late 90s that they finally started getting a bad reputation. So what shifted public perception?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130051\/parabens1.jpg\" alt=\"What is there to know about parabens?\" class=\"wp-image-46650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130051\/parabens1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130051\/parabens1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whats-the-dark-side-to-parabens\"><\/span>What\u2019s the dark side to parabens?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The controversy surrounding parabens has to do with various studies speculating harmful effects. It is thought that parabens can act like estrogen in the body, disrupting the functioning of the hormone systems. That can further affect fertility. Scientists have also become concerned with parabens\u2019 relation to cancers, particularly breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, you can commonly find \u201cparaben-free\u201d choices. However, this doesn\u2019t mean that these cosmetics are free from preservatives and stabilizers. Good news, if you want to keep your products sanitary. Instead of the original preservative, it will be swapped for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-about-the-benefits\"><\/span>What about the benefits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parabens have not yet been proven to be directly beneficial to the body.&nbsp;But that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re good for nothing. Cosmetics are exceptionally good at breeding microorganisms. That\u2019s where parabens come in, acting as a protective shield against various fungi and molds. That keeps harmful, even toxic contaminants away from creams you put on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preservatives also ensure freshness. Thanks to that, we can now order our cosmetics from one side of the world without worrying that they\u2019ll be expired by the time they make it to us.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130112\/parabens2.jpg\" alt=\"beauty consultant speaking with client\" class=\"wp-image-46655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130112\/parabens2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130112\/parabens2-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/Kk2CzubITsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"so-whats-the-verdict\"><\/span>So what\u2019s the verdict?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jury is still out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are some studies that seem to link parabens to harmful medical outcomes, they also keep toxic contaminants out of your products.&nbsp;They are both good and bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>until recently all paraben types were classified together<\/strong>. Now researchers know it\u2019s might be more about quantity. Some studies conclude that perhaps they aren\u2019t usually harmful in small quantities. Many manufacturers have cut down and lowered concentrations of <strong>parabens in beauty products<\/strong> to smaller amounts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the FDA doesn\u2019t regulate the use of parabens in cosmetics. Studies regarding the safety and human impact of parabens in cosmetics are ongoing. This means that until the FDA finds definite evidence, manufacturers can and will continue to green light parabens in their recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-possible-to-go-completely-paraben-free\"><\/span>Is it possible to go completely paraben-free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything is possible! But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll be easy. The truth is, parabens are so widely used, that giving them up completely would be a real challenge. Most products available at your local beauty store or pharmacy have at least one paraben on their ingredients list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But of course, this doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t <strong>paraben-free cosmetics <\/strong>to choose from.\u00a0Ditching parabens is becoming more common among beauty companies, so you\u2019ll definitely have options in the eco or bio aisle. And aside from the health controversy, paraben-free products are particularly loved by those with sensitive and allergy-prone skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can swap out your normal paraben-filled go-to product for certain products with a natural substitute. Instead of using a store-bought toner containing parabens, try out rose water, chamomile water, or cucumber water. And when it comes to hair oils, give olive oil or argan oil a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some products even take it up a notch more, going completely preservative-free. These types of items have a shorter expiration date, lasting up to several months. However, keep in mind, if you purchase a product that\u2019s completely preservative-free, it should be stored in a cold and dark place, like your refrigerator. But regardless of where you stand on the paraben controversy, it\u2019s always good to make conscious purchasing decisions that are good for your skin and body!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130203\/parabens3.jpg\" alt=\"paraben-free cosmetics\" class=\"wp-image-46660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130203\/parabens3.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/03130203\/parabens3-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/Kk2CzubITsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paraben spot check: grab the closest skin or hair care product and read the label on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":46665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[191],"class_list":["post-46649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Answering All Your Questions about Parabens - Booksy.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Parabens show up in lots of beauty product ingredient lists.
