Are Parabens Dangerous?
Be careful of the products you use for your beauty routine! Harmful ingredients easily absorb through your scalp into your bloodstream. That is why what you use for your hair or skin is just as important as what you put in your mouth.
Parabens are synthetic compounds that are harmful. They are used to prolong the shelf-life of products.
They benefit the sellers of cosmetics and not your health.
Here are some dangers of parabens to your body:
1. Can cause Breast cancer: It’s a hormonal disruptant – it mimics estrogen – body finds it hard to break
down synthetic estrogen – in a study of 20 women with breast cancer 19 had parabens traces in the
breast tissue.
2. Early Puberty: Parabens are a hormonal disruptor, this sends the endocrine/hormonal system wrong
messaging, the signs of puberty coming earlier.
3. Infertility and reproductive health problems
4. Premature Aging – Did you know that Methylparaben is linked to premature aging and skin cancer (when exposed to UVB)?
5. The most common diseases that dermatologists mention (caused by parabens) are Skin irritation and
eczema.
How to tell if they are in your products? Be careful to always look at the product descriptions and always USE natural products.
