This scared me to death! I was asked to do some research on skin care products and one of the things I was asked to look into is, are parabens bad? I could not believe that they were potential cancer causing agents.
  Well, it is true; parabens are potential cancer causing agents.
They are preservatives that are added to skin care products to prolong the shelf life.
  However, much of the cosmetic industry does not believe that they are a threat to one's health.
This is why many companies still use parabens.
  Many Believe That the Findings Are Inconclusive  Now let's get back to the question at hand, are parabens bad? They have been found in the breast tissue of women suffering from breast cancer.
  However, at this time it is inconclusive as to whether the preservative caused the cancer or not.
  What Should You Do? If you feel that these preservatives are harmless, then go ahead and continue to use products that contain them.
  However, since many people are either unsure or do not trust the cosmetic companies, there are numerous natural skin care products on the market that do not use parabens at all.
  Now, everyone's situation is different.
My fiancé is a breast cancer survivor.
So, she does not want to have anything to do with a substance that may be associated with the disease.
  This is one of the reasons, why she uses a natural skin care product.
  Natural Skin Care Products Are Safer to Use  Some people feel that natural products do not work.
However, I can assure you that this is not true.
Not all natural products are effective though, you have to know what to look for because there are some very effective products available.
  What do you expect from a skin care product or anti aging cream? Well, you want it to help to reduce lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
You want it to give your skin a youthful, healthy glow.
  In order to achieve these results, you need specific natural ingredients to be used in your skin cream.
  Briefly, I will look at some of the most effective natural substances.
You may have not heard of Cynergy TK or Phytessence Wakame but they are two of the most effective natural substances used today.
  Cynergy TK helps to restore your skins protein levels, this helps in reducing the signs of aging.
Phytessence Wakame helps to restore the skins natural acid levels, which also helps to reduce the signs of aging.
  By combining these ingredients with other effective natural substances, you will have a very powerful skin cream that will return a youthful glow to your skin.
  And in answer to the question, are parabens bad? Well, the evidence is out there that they are bad.
Some very effective natural products available do not contain this potentially harmful preservative.
