Today's blog article is about the use of parabens (a type of preservative found in many skin care and beauty products) and why they're used as well as the most recent information I could find regarding their safety. Though I found them to be perfectly safe, I still feel this post is informative and important to read.

I hope this blog entry provided the information about parabens that perhaps you may have been questioning or had concerns with.

Sometimes just knowing the information can ease fears and can actually help one to understand the facts...on any subject. It seems that once a theory or rumor starts to fly...it can get out of hand and not always contain every variable to the actual subject at hand. I can't help but feel that sort of thing happened with the whole paraben controversy.
