Parabens: Widely used antimicrobial preservatives that enable cosmetics, personal care and pharmaceuticals products, and food to be stored for relatively long periods of time without spoiling. Parabens stimulate estrogen in the body, and have been found in cancerous breast tumors – typically, they enter the body through the skin via deodorants, antiperspirants, lotions, or body sprays and they accumulate until they reach a threshold where they can trigger tumor development.
Don’t buy anything with the word: paraben: anywhere on the label, You’ll see other natural perservatives there instead, such as grapefruit seed extract, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, sorbic acid, tocopherol (vitamin E), retinyl (vitamin A), and asorbic acid (vitamin C).
