Paraben Free Products for Anti-Aging Skin Care

What are Parabens? Used in many consumer products, toiletries, and medicines, they are preservatives that cost little to produce and are designed inhibit the growth of bacteria to extend the shelf life of anti-aging products. Commonly added to skin care products, these cheap preservatives have been directly linked to certain health issues in women by research.

The link with breast cancer risk

Interest among women for paraben free anti-aging skin care products originated from a study by scientists in Great Britain at the University of Reading who performed breast tumor toxicology examinations of 20 tissue samples. Researchers discovered that 90% (18 of 20) of samples contained traces of parabens (Darbre, Philippa, Ph.D., Journal of Applied Toxicology, Vol. 28, pp. 561–578, July 2008). The primary suspected cause was underarm deodorants containing these potentially toxic ingredients, because 60% of breast cancer tumors are found in just 20% of the breast area - the area closest to the women's underarm. An updated study published in March 2012 using mastectomy pathological results confirmed the earlier findings.

Parabens are known to accelerate skin aging

In a report published in 2006 in Toxicology, a scientific medical journal, researchers at Kyoto University found that methylparaben increases skin aging in the presence of ultraviolet light. In particular, the authors discovered that methylparaben has potentially unwanted effects on skin in the presence of ultraviolet radiation as a result of "increased cell death and oxidative stress." Thus, skincare products that claim to fight wrinkles but include methylparaben may actually promote, not diminish the signs of aging - just the opposite of your desired paraben free anti-aging outcome.

Paraben free skin care products with no fillers and no harmful ingredients

It is typical for certain brand-focused companies to promote their anti-aging skin care products with bold claims and elaborate packaging. However, a close inspection of the label's statement of ingredients often reveals that the active ingredients in these products are located far down the list - meaning that they have relatively minor concentrations - a sure sign of minimum potency. Our most popular paraben free anti-aging moisturizer cream, for example, contains the strongest effective dosage of hyaluronic acid.  In the big brand products, any active ingredients present in low concentrations will not be effective in delivering the desired anti-aging results as advertised.

You will also typically find several kinds of paraben compounds used as preservatives in many anti-aging creams. Because a lot of ingredients in skin care products are difficult to pronounce, much less comprehend, determining their potency and safety is not easy.
