Parabens are dangerous preservatives that are readily absorbed through the skin.

Parabens are dangerous preservatives that are readily absorbed through the skin and are in many cosmetics and lotions:
  • Methyl-Paraben
  • Ethyl-Paraben
  • Butyl-Paraben
  • Propyl-Paraben
  • Isobutyl-Paraben
Parabens are irritating to the skin; they cause a contact dermatitis. They are alsoendocrine disrupters and are estrogenic. All parabens bind themselves to estrogenhormone active receptors, and have estrogen activity. One ill effect—for men—is that they harm the male reproductive system.

Parabens decrease the size of the male reproductive organs, the testes, prostate,and seminal vesicles. Parabens also decrease sperm count and motility. “Parabens had an adverse effect on the male mouse reproductive system and that damaged thelate steps of spermatogenesis in the testis.”

Parabens can exert an adverse effect on the male reproductive system at doses that are well below those of the accepted daily intake.”Sperm are damaged so severely that parabens “…could be developed as a new vaginal contraceptive.”

Liver cell damage.
Parabens cause time-dependent death to liver cells and their mitochondria.

White blood cell damage
All parabens “…caused a concentration-dependent diminution of the secretion of lysosomalenzymes. …Parabens are capable of affecting cellular function at concentrations, which are likelyto be reached in blood or tissues under conditions of common use.”

Parabens cause tumors
Consistent absorption into the blood stream of parabens has caused tumors of thelung, blood, and soft tissue.

Why are parabens still being used?

Parabens have been used for more than 50 years as an anti-microbial agent infoods, drugs, and cosmetics. Parabens were commonly used before the FDA began regulating preservatives. Therefore, this use was “grandfatheredand not subject to safety testing protocols, as are newly developed preservatives. Only compounds as obviously poisonous as arsenic are automatically proscribed from use in foods, cosmetics, and drugs.

Its use poses dangers, but the public are largely unaware of these dangers. Many skin care products contain one or more parabens. Read the labels
