Paraben is often used to preserve the ‘freshness’ of skincare products which thus increases the expiry date of skin care products. Think of it as a preservative. Therefore, paraben-free products generally have very short lifespan and comes with higher price tag.
Paraben-free products generally spoil within 3 months. If you have very sensitive skin, you might consider trying paraben-free products, people having sensitive skin have reported very good results with them. Paraben-free products are known to be kinder and healthier to the skin.
Researches have shown that these preservatives used in skin care products like SLS, ALS or parabens are known to be cancer causing ingredients. However, the researches done on SLS and parabens are not intensively substantiated to prove whether these preservatives can actually cause substantial damage to our health. SLS (sodium laureth sulphate) itself is a foaming agent. It is practically an ingredient in all our shampoos, bath foam and facial foam. Ir exists in our everyday common skincare and cosmetic products. It might not be so comfortable to use a SLS free product as its not so smooth to use due to the lack of foaming properties that SLS provides.
Brands like Vitasence, Jurlique, Fancl, Avalon, Haba and Miessence do not contain paraben. Be careful to check the ingredients for paraben as some brands tend to call their products organic even though they might contain paraben.
Many people have reported that after switching over to paraben and SLS free facial prodcuts, they have less skin clogs and thus lesser blackheads and whiteheads. Other girls have seen a huge improve in their skin conditions and texture and also gives a better glow to the skin in about a month or two upon usage of paraben free products.
If you have extra budget to splurge this month, why not try out the really true natural products?
