Chemical Preservatives-Parabens
Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They are to be found in shampoos most skincare products, mens cosmetics and toiletries, baby care personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals, tanning solutions, and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives. Unfortunately Parabens can cause skin irritations and contact dermatitis, Rosacea , paraben allergies and premature skin aging.
Scientific studies - Report that parabens were found in samples of breast tumors, these studies have resulted in a call for further research. This same study has fueled the belief that parabens in underarm deodorants and other cosmetics can migrate into breast tissue and contribute to the development of tumors. Some scientists believe that it may be correlated with breast cancer, based on a study by UK scientists in which preservative chemicals were found in samples of breast tumors. Their analysis of 20 breast tumors found high concentrations of parabens in 18 samples. What supports this argument is based on the ability of parabens to mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. Some estrogens are known to drive the growth of tumors. Given that breast cancer is a large killer of women and a very high percentage of young women use underarm deodorants, I think we should be carrying out properly funded, further investigations into parabens and where they are found in the body," says Dr.Philip Harvey, an editor of the Journal of Applied Toxicology, which published the research Molecular biologist Philippa Darbre at the University of Reading says that the ester-bearing form of parabens found in the tumors indicates it came from something applied to the skin, such as an underarm deodorant, cream, general skincare or body sprays.
This study has elicited concerns about the use of butylparaben, methylparaben and other parabens used in most cosmetics and antiperspirants.
