What are parabens?
Parabens are a group of chemical substances, which serve as preservatives in beauty products. They increase the durability of for example your shampoo, deodorant, creams and makeup by killing bacteria’s which try to grow in your product.
Cosmetic products could contain parabens in a concentration of 0.3% to 1%. Officially, parabens are approved for use under the Cosmetics aim (76/768/EEG) by the European law. They say that all cosmetic products which contain parabens could be used safely. However, a lot of people doubt this declaration and Denmark has for example forbidden some types of parabens in products for children.
When you want to check the ingredient list of your own beauty products or parabens, you have to search for butylparaben, isoparaben, methylparaben or propylparaben. Other names could be used, but you could recognise them because they end on ‘paraben’.
