| - | ==Why should I be aware of this?==
| + | |
| - | *Parabens are [[preservatives]] commonly found in [[shampoo]], makeup, [[skin lotions]], [[creams]], foaming [[cleansers]], [[lipstick]]s, [[lip gloss]]es, [[deodorants]] and [[shaving gels]] to protect them from bacterial and fungal contamination.
| + | |
| - | *Parabens are being used in products like [[lotions]], [[deodorants]], and [[make-up]] that stay on the skin for long periods of time, being absorbed directly into the body.
| + | |
| - | *Some scientists are concerned that parabens could migrate through the skin and into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system, which normally breaks down and eliminates toxins from the body.
| + | |
| - | *The so-called natural, nontoxic hair care products and cosmetics could indeed be toxic.
| + | |
| - | ==How does this affect me?==
| + | |
| - | *There could be possible negative effects from long-term exposure to parabens.
| + | |
| - | *Many people have allergic reactions to these preservatives causing skin rashes and irritation.
| + | |
| - | *They are suspected to be endocrine disruptors, and have been found to mimic estrogen in laboratory experiments.
| + | |
| - | *A study published in 2004 (Darbre, in the Journal of Applied Toxicology) detected parabens in breast tumors. The study also discussed this information in the context of the weak estrogen-like properties of parabens and the influence of estrogen on [[breast cancer]].

| - | ===What are parabens===
| + | |
| - | Parabens are used as preservatives in many thousands of cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical products to which we are exposed. Parabens are permitted as preservatives in food up to 0.1%. In cosmetics, parabens are permitted in concentrations of up to 1%.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Typically, more than one paraben is used in a product, and they are often used in combination with other types of preservatives to provide preservation against a broad range of microorganisms. The use of mixtures of parabens allows the use of lower levels while increasing preservative activity.

| - | ==What can I do?==
| + | |
| - | There have been a few studies linking paraben usage to adverse impact on health. However, science has yet to comprehensively prove the same. Thus, limiting one's exposure to parabens is a personal choice, and if one wants to then there are plenty of paraben-free products available.

| - | *Do not assume that products that are labeled ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ do not contain parabens. Always check the label, you will often find the parabens on small print at the bottom of the back label.
