Our skin is the largest organ we have and it absorbs all the stuff we put on it. Good stuff and bad stuff.
Answer:
Good question! Parabens are specifically used as a preservative. Companies have less liability when they use preservatives like parabens and diazinol urea. You can sue them if you get an infection from a tainted product, but you can't sue them for using parabens because they're a legal ingredient to use and their negative effects haven't been "proven" yet. The FDA doesn't ban an ingredient until there's overwhelming evidence that it is harmful at the useage rate that companies are typically using. Chemicals, even though some are carcinogens, are approved at low concentrations. But the problem is that a lot of these chemicals are bioaccumulative--meaning they build up in the body. Ultimately, it's up to the consumer to choose the best products with the most natural ingredients.
One new company that offers 100% organic and natural products is bubble and bee organics. You can check them out at http://www.bubbleandbee.com
they use it because sometimes it can help your skin
Because, at the present, even though there are alternatives for "some" of these carcinogenic materials, they are much more expensive. Some are not as effective as the material to be replaced. There are also cases wherein the usage level is very small in formulations.
It's about the cost and benefit. Manufacturers are also thinking are the consumers ready to spend more money for a product with the same functional benefit.
if companies can make it cheap and sell it at a big profit,they usually do even if they know or aren't sure if it causes cancer.
You have it right about the absorption. Seems scary to me to use skin care products with hormones.
Parabens are just a little worse than a mild carcinogen. And what do you replace them with? I can think of things that would be less carcinogenic, but don't do the job nearly as well.
Come up with a better healthier formula and with good marketing, there is a fortune in it for you.
