L'Bri's Products Are Paraben-FreeWhy should you use paraben-free products? First, what are they? Parabens (short for para-hydroxybenzoate) are a group of chemicals used as preservatives in cosmetics and personal hygiene products. They are used to protect against microbial growth. They are colorless and odorless and used in thousands of products. There are 6 common forms including methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, isobutylparaben, and benzylparaben. They have detected parabens in breast tumors, and it is not known at this time if they cause cancer. We do know that they can be absorbed through our skin and retained in breast tissue. While there is no evidence yet, it is better to be safe than sorry. L'Bri's products are paraben free.
People thought underarm deodorants were the cause for it showing up in the breast tissue, but that has since been disproved. More research needs to be done, but for now this is a good ingredient to avoid. Click here to return from paraben-free to skincare samples.
