  • United Nations ? european union ? United Kingdom..

  • The problem is this is not just beauty products, dangerous chemicals are everywhere, in what u eat even u might just go live in a bubble honestly if you are just going to be so paranoid, chill out.

  • Thanks for this informative video and I am going to spread the word among my friends and lets hope one day that this companies stop using this crap that harms individuals without even realizing the danger. I have two questions:

    1. How did you find out? I would like to see evidence such as the articles.

    2. These two are preservatives as well methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone that could be found in pantene's products. Are they harmful too.

  • what kind of lotion do you use?

  • It's honestly ridiculous! You don't know how many freaking people I've told I mean I took notes and everything as well and they will straight up say O thats not true. O and don't try to explain this to attention whores because they wont even listen to what you have to say! FUCK IT if they want breast cancer keeping using parabens stupid bitches gosh

  • I FREAKING LOVE YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

  • Omg i will die . :O !!!!!

  • Burt's Bees and Yes to Carrots are both all paraben-free and you can buy them at Target :)

  • Do you know any good sunblocks without ANY parabens (especially without methylparaben) ?

  • @liveyourlife365jess Try the "Yes to carrots" brand.

  • this is scary its in everything!!!

  • Dr Hauska is amazing, it is all organic. or moonminerals mineral make up. and therme skincare is also soapfree and paraben free!(the body butters are amazing) Same as dr hauska transulent foundation,!

  • wow, i did this, i checked my products and almost all of them had parabens, creepy. Products that didn't have were two body lotions: nivea pure and natural and the second one was crabtree and evelyn brand.

  • This video just scared the life out of me!!! I was searching about parabens as it has been in the talked about alot recently and I AM PANICKING! I cant seem to find ingredients in all my products!!!!!!! help!!!!!!!!

  • thank u soooo much for this video

  • You just scared the crap out of all of us! But it's nice to know someone cares about other people's lives. Thanks! I will totally be checking all my stuff.

  • My Arcona creams don't have parabens. Though they are kinda spendy...

  • Excellent, important video. Thanks for uploading. You are smart, pretty, and get it! For 3 yrs now I have done the same research you have, and changed the way I buy makeup and skincare, and avoid all parabens. have a blog your viewers may like. Link is in my channel. Thx.

  • Urban Decay All Nighter!

  • Oh , everything causes cancer .

  • i live in england. i went over to my makeup drawer, and found that nearly all of them have parabens, i live in the european union. whats happening:O

  • very very informative video. thank you soo much for all that information! not only do i love beauty in general but i am a bit of a science geek too so this was very helpful. great video!

    btw, where did u get all the health info??

  • I'm scared as hell now. D:

  • Correction, the EU has not banned Parabens and in the UK they are in nearly all the cosmetics too. 

  • I know it's been a year since you posted it. I really hope you get to read my message. I really appreciate that you are getting people educated on toxic chemicals in our beauty products. I have been doing a lot of research lately and the stuff I've been reading about our cosmetics industry is just mind bugling. There is helpful website (you might already know about it) called "SKIN DEEP" by Environmental Working Group. You can type most of your beauty products, it rates their toxic levels.

  • Thank you for the information, I've never heard of parabens before. I will definitely be researching it more...I looked at two of my Clinique products and I did not see any parabens listed. Can you tell us what paraben-free skincare, shampoo and body lotion that you use?

  • nooooo the body shop body butter!!!!!

  • aveeno and burts bees don't have parabens! and my secret deoderant didn't either.

  • @sossymcfee The secret deoderant has a fragrance to it. They don't list the fragrance ingredients- that could have parabens in it too:(

  • @sossymcfee actually aveenos continuous protection sunblock lotion has methylparaben and propylparaben.

  • did u even go to school? how could you not know the right pronunciation of "microbial"? its funny how that word just has to be derived from an american language and you're an american.. i'm sorry but that just kinda disappointed me..

  • Yes makeup can get you cancer.

  • This is so helpful! Watching this made me go look at the ingredient labels of all my products and see what's in them.

    It is truly scary how many different types of chemicals we put on our bodies everyday without even thinking about it.

  • Just checked the ingredients of my skin products from Bath & Body Works and found that parabens are only listed in their Body Lotion line, not their Body Cream and Body Butter lines. This is kinda good since I've never been a big fan of the Body Lotion formula and packaging :)

  • Most Lush products don't contain parabens and work well, you just have to check the ingredients list that they supply for each product on their site. You should try Jason Naturals' products, they do not carry make up but they do carry completely natural hair products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and other toiletries. :)

  • Parabens are in natural organic foods such as blueberries? And blueberries are a superfood that is linked to preventing cancer.

    Products that don't contain preservatives such as paraben's are actually harmful. Without preservatives bacteria grows with can cause blindness from eye makeup to name one problem. Parabens are the least dangerous preservatives cosmetics company can use. And it's at the bottom on the ingredient list because it's the least amount used in this product.

    Paraben-free pr

  • I checked and it seems like all my finesse products dont have them in there :) but im pretty sure it has sulfates that ruin and damage it :(

  • The Monistat Chafting Relief Powder-Gel used as a primer will provide a nice barrier between your skin and the Paraben products. Indredients: Dimethicone (1.2%).

    Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trisiloxane.

  • Blush: Zero

    Mineral powder: None

  • Hello Kitty Blush: Zero

    Sephora mineral powder: None

    YAY!

  • It's common sense. What do u think? HELL YEAH IT DOES ! It's all chemicals

  • did u ever try belle ame its kinda like lush

  • thanks for awaring us i really apreciate it but it was a bit scary

  • check out cosmeticsinfodotcom for facts!

  • cancer is caused by obesity thats why cancer rates are up , you should advise your uninformed subscribers to loose the weight and not smoke to reduce their chances!

  • what if you eat soy or carrots they have more estrogen than parabens and birth control pills!

  • Comment removed

  • My Pangea Organics Cleanser is paraben free:)

  • I probably think that haircolour and nailpolish is just as harmful if so...

  • @bellabamba11 Read the ingredients or call the company. They should tell you.

  • thanks for this video! I am looking for nyx milk product without parabens. Any suggestions? I totally agree about lush false natural advertising!

  • thanks for this video! I am looking for nyx milk product without parabens. Any suggestions?

  • I love Lush :S well, if its in the floor of my shower or in my bath, it doesnt matter so much, right? My fav handcream dont have them, thank god! Its the sweet lemon hand lotion from the body shop :) i just bought a concealer that has parabens, but i put foundation under it, so its not that bad, right? Why do they need to use these? And i live in Europe Union and we have parabens in almost every product!!!

  • If you are truly interested in what you are putting on your skin, go to the Skin Deep Database (Google it) and look up your cosmetics. The chances you take with your life are your choice, but you should be informed. It took me six months to replace all my cosmetics. (ps don't trust Sephora's natural area...not all good for you)

  • Don't be too scared people, nailpolish is probably more harmful :P

  • OMG! This is absolutely eye opening! Thank you so much for making this video. I just went through all my products looking for parabens and I just got so sad when I saw that my body butter from the body shop has parabens!!

    What other names should we be looking for? It is so ridiculous they can rename it and most people would not even know! I am not as concerned about make-up, but I am so much more concerned about my face/body lotions and washes.

    What other names are they hiding paraben under?

  • I LOVE IT... YAY... THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE CANCER AND TUMOR FIGHT... WE LOVE YOU... THANK YOU... KEEP IT UP... KEEP RESEARCHING AND BROADCASTING.... FFMDM

  • Thank you for your helpful research!

  • Yikes.

  • i hardly ever sub to anyone because keeping up with them all takes up my entire life, but i'm kind of on the fence about subbing to you from just one video, so i favourited your account so i can check out some more vids to see if i should sub to you :D xx

  • i was about to go and check out my make-up when you said go and check out your make-up :D xx

  • everyone's make-up products mostly have methyl and propyl paraben :/ xx

  • ahhha i love that :D ' if you dont care about cancer in 30 or 40 years, then i definietly reccommend this :D you might die from it, but it smells good :)' loooool :D xx

  • YAAAAAY MINIRAVE! first time i've ever been happier about UK make-up rather than US make-up since i live in the uk!! :D woop woop

  • wow thanks for the info!!!

  • the FIT me powder foundation doesnt havent any parabens :)

  • The best choice is to buy Sense products, They are made by Usana Health Sciences

    go to w w w . usana . c o m and buy them under Id number 3002274, thank you...

  • How about hair products that contain methylparabens and propylparabens? Like curling creams? Are those "safer" to use since it doesnt go directly on your skin?

  • @RockMusicLoveBaby not really since it ruins your hair as well. also, it could soak into your scalp and that's part of your skin as well. especially when you sleep on it

  • J.R. Watkins natural apothecary shea butter Body Cream doesn't have any parabens in it, and I have it in the lemon cream scent which smells DELICiOUS, like lemon frosting.

  • you should try the 100% pure body butters!

  • Thank you so much for making this video!!! can you please go over the products you use for your skin hair face that are close to natural and paraben free!! =))

  • is mica and talc bad for ur skin too?? you should do a video on other ingrediants that could be bad for you tooo! :/

  • i believe all eos products are paraben free! thank you for this video, its really scary though haha

  • U just saved our lifes!!

  • 'you might die from it, but it smells really good' :)) hahhaa

  • Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Rimmel's Stay Matte liquid foundation is paraben-free. :)

  • THANK you!

  • I was just wondering, but an eyeliner doesn't soak into your skin, it just sits there, so how can that increase our estrogen?

  • Thank you for this video. It's really interesting. I don't believe all parabens are prohibited in Europe. A good company, if your are looking for paraben-free make up, is Inglot. @MissJenFABULOUS do you feel different after reducing the amount of paraben riddled products you use?

  • neutrogena has parabens

  • this scared me

  • OMG, clearasil products have all 5 parabens in them :(

  • my jergans natural lotion still has parabens in it :/

  • i live in the uk and my lotion has parabens in it :( but the thing is that i have really dry and sensitive skin and only that lotion helps me..any other lotions cause me to get exzema :(

  • people do need to watch out for parabens and sulfates. i looked at baby lotion and it had parabens in it. even tressemes "naturals" has less sulfates, not no sulfate at all. i didn't know that parabens were a cheap preservative... its quite gross if you think about it. eww:/

  • @areebaxo Exactly, putting them on your children from when they're are babies. Then you wonder why they have cancer when they get older. I was already aware of this before my son was born. All his products are paraben, silicone, and sulfate free. So yes, you should watch out and products w/o it are way better.

  • almost all my products have parabens D; the only one I found parabens free was covergirl natureluxe foundation..

  • My really good smelling lotion has parabens in it!! Now I'm scared to even touch it!!!

  • st.ives ...no parabens!

  • Forget im not using makeup any more

  • Anything that says "hydrogenated oil" is a paraben too! BEWARE if you are a huge health nut. Its the same thing they stick in food to preserve it!!!!

    Its basically transfat!!

  • EOS Shaving Cream! NO PARABENS!!! 

  • Eve Pearl.. without parabens

  • You should use Eve Pearl,, everything is without parabens! Its pricey but ur body deserve it!

  • "You might die from it, but it smells really good" LOOOOOOOOOOL!

  • omgggg my NYC blush has ALL 5 parabens thats freakin scarey omggg....

  • Does Kiehls have parabens in their products?!

  • @aho12345666 Yes, check your labels

  • hey, i'm just wondering where you got your information from? i'm not saying you're wrong or anything. i just want to see the facts for myself to be sure...

  • its weird because my body shop body butters dont have any parebens in them so i wonder if its just the body butters in the states that have parebens in body butter :S

  • The luxysisters send me to this video :)

    Loved it -3

  • Holy crap all the maybelline dream mousse products have all five parabens! WTF

  • @Bubbly1337 OHH NO!!! UGH! I LOVE THE DREAM MOUSSE!! :/

  • @jtrinh13 ME TOO! And I use the concealer pretty much every day!

  • Thw worst product I found was the Palmer's Gentle Daily Cleanser, it has ALL five parabens that you mentioned. That's actually sickening. Thanks for the great video, it was very informative, and I will definitely be much more aware of what I am putting into my skin. It's just horrible that basically every single product I have used for years has parabens, it's scray to think of the damage that might have already been done.

  • My new lotion, Nivea Express Hydration doesn't have parabens. Which is good because I <3 it!

  • @kissesandcake doesnt it have sulfates tho?:/

  • if body lotions and stuff like that have parabens why would they sell them is stores?

  • @tswiftz right now the FDA doesn't have to check ingredients, laws on this haven't been updated for decades.

  • if stuff like this body lotions etc have parabens why would they sell them in stores?

  • Thank you for raising awareness about all of this! It's incredible how much harm we do to our bodies without even knowing :( Please check out my new channel dedicated to green and cruelty free makeup tutorials. Hope you love it! <3

  • You didn't mention it yet... (I've only watched up till @5:00) So I'll ask. Do most eyeliners have parabens?

  • All I have paraben free is a blush and a lipgloss.... ):

  • I was so pissed to find out my Mane N' Tail Conditioner had 3 different types of paraben!

  • lol "u might die from it, but it smells good"

  • Omg thank you so much for making this vid!!! You explained it very well (:

  • you might die from it, but it smells good LOL

  • so glad I live in england. but i use aussie leave-in conditioner on my ends and that has four parabens, does that matter? since it's not being absorbed into my scalp. i don't think so, but i'm not sure? thanks, excellent video xxx

  • Also Neutrogena, Aveeno, and SOME of ELF products have no parabens

  • I'm going to the drugstore today, and I'm buying all new products! I know a lot of Physicians Formula products are paraben free. I'll be reading the labels very carefully!

  • For makeup I use Loreal True Match and I dont know if it has no parabens they dont say so I'm assuming they dont.

    My first primer was ELF Primer and it had like 3 parabens so I am not using it again.

    My eyeliner have none thank goodness as well.

    Also Aveeno and Neutrogena have no parabens. So I think my skin will be fine in 20+ years if I keep this up.

  • I had quite alot of things that were paraben free ^__^. EOS, Avon Naturals, Bare Minerals, Burts Bees, St. Ives, Avalon Organics, Aveeno, Neutrogena, Banana Boat Sunscreen, SOME of Bath/Body works products and The Body Shop have no parabens. They say it on the bottle as well as you can look in the ingredients.

    I use EOS lotion, EOSshaving cream and EOS lip balm(best). &I wash my hair with Avalon Organics LemonClarifying Shampoo&Conditioner <3(best)

    for makeup I use

  • @LoveBelow1320 The body shop has parabens, so do st Ives, Aveeno and Nivea

  • Try the brand Larenim. Its mineral makeup with NO parabens:)

  • @DawnMist1000 Larenim contains Honeysuckle Flower Extract(Lonicera Caprifolium and Lonicera Japonicum) in their products which is essentially the same things as parabens. you can look it up. anything that says honeysuckle extract or japanese honeysuckle is a paraben. companies are trying to trick you.

  • I remember that last year i watched this video and became aware of parabens. In school I'm doing a persuasive exposition on why parabens should be banned in cosmetic, pharmeceutical products and even food! (blueberries contain methylparaben) Thank you so much for inspiring me jen! :)

    -molly xo

    Yes I am aware you can't ban blueberries :P hahaa

  • I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT NOW!! I MUST TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS VIDEO!! THANKS GIRL!

  • Be careful with things that smell good, like the B&BW body butter referenced in this video, most likely the smell is a cocktail of different chemicals (none of them good for you) that is simply labelled as "fragrance" or "parfum". If that is listed in the ingredients, think twice about the unknown chemical cocktail you are inhaling into your lungs...

  • waht are you gonna do with all the makeup tat have parabens???

  • Just wondering if u can mention all the no paraben products u use please

  • My beloved Covergirl Natureluxe is indeed natural! No parabens!

  • @clairebelle2010 It has talc, which is a carcinogen I believe. It irritates my skin so I couldn't try that foundation :(

  • thank you for this video! the more exposure on this subject, the better. what do you think of phthalates? are they just as harmful?

  • so if the other products don't have parabens in them. what do they use to minimize the bacteria and stuff like that?? and are they worse or better? and how often should i replace a paraben free product?

  • OMG.... Urban Decay Primer Potion has FIVE parabens..... NOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Need to STAY away from the NYX jumbo eye pencil they have three of the parabens and the Maybelline DREAM MOUSSE BLUSH it has all of the 5 parbens!!!

  • I just checked around 15 products in my bathroom, and found parabens just in maybe 2 products... I dont know if I am blind or what :-) I was quite surprised finding parabens in Simple products :-( But i havent find them in Johnsosn baby shampoo or oil thou...

  • Yahh! I was looking on ST.IVES and I couldn't find anything, then I read formulated without PARABENS and PHTHALATES!!

  • actually those are just trade name for preservative blends, you still have to write the ingredients on the INCI label.

  • if i ask the sales assistant if the product has parabens do they have to tell us? great video thanks :) xx

  • I am so sad to discover that my cetaphil cleanser has parabens in it ...

  • This video was so informative.

    Some products that don't contain parabens:

    Burt's Bees Body butter

    Yes to Carrots Body Butter, hand cream and eye cream

  • i'm going through all my stuff now!

    nyx blush in peach don't have parabens :D lol

  • I know parabens are a big issue, but what about the fact that sooo many products are tested on animals, even if they are paraben free.I just really feel passionate about buying products that do not test on animals because its just unnecessary and by buying products that are tested on animals in a sense you are supporting it. Its just confusing cause its like you have to chose which issues more important. So its just so much to think about and new issues are always arising in this world of ours.

  • my giovanni hydrate body lotion in grapefruit sky has no parabens

  • estee lauder who owns mac and clinique as you said also does the breast cancer walk...but idk you would stop using those products...

  • Best youtube video ever! 

  • Estee Lauder is no different than Revlon. They are all about selling some pink lip gloss every October to support breast cancer awareness and are opposed to the paraben-free movement. And they own everything! Clinique, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, Origins, Prescriptives, Smashbox, La Mer, Lab Series, Bumble and Bumble, Darphin, American Beauty, GoodSkin Labs, and a ton of fragrance companies are all owned by Lauder.

  • Can you do a whole video on paraben free product recommendations? Like everything- make -up, hair, lotion, face.

  • even if you have a lipgloss for five years due to parabens making its shelf life longer, you still should never keep make-up usually past 6 months to a year... If you can avoid products with parabens great. otherwirse, I feel as though it's not a huge huge deal... people way older then us have used all the same products and they're usually just fine.

  • does anyone know if there is a good self tanner without parabens... i like to be tan... but natural and non natural tanning apparently will give me cancer... haha:)
