Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in body care products.  A preservative is used in many instances when a product has water as an ingredient.  When there is water in a product there is a higher chance for bacteria to breed.  Parabens are typically inexpensive and were a replacement for formaldehyde years ago.  Parabens are long words and hard to pronounce, such as ethylparaben and methylparaben. 

So what are you to do when buying your body care products?  Remember to ALWAYS READ THE LABEL!!  There have been studies with some correlating evidence to indicate that parabens cause cancer.   Remember to always do your homework about the products you put on your body.  The skin is the largest organ and can absorb a great deal.  Remember Mamma's products are paraben free! And Mamma wants you to feel good!  Click the link below to read more about parabens from Best Health Magazine.
