Collection: Paraben Free

At Skin Perfection, we only carry paraben-free products! We know that choosing the right skincare products is hard enough, especially if you have sensitivities to added chemicals, fillers, or preservatives. You can feel safe knowing that our products do not contain cancer-causing preservatives, parabens, or any formaldehyde-releasing agents.

Parabens are a type of preservative that keeps bacteria out of skincare products. They also extend the shelf-life of products, making them very appealing to large companies who mass-produce their beauty products.

This means a product can sit on a shelf for 5 to 10 years. In recent times, the build-up of parabens in our system has been linked to cancer. They have also been shown to cause irritation and allergic reactions.

They can also cause endocrine hormone disruption. There are other alternatives to parabens in skincare products. Our products mainly use an antimicrobial for protection like Radish Root, Leudical Liquid Complete, Silver, Sodium Benzoate, a non-paraben, formaldehyde-free preservative.

Preservatives must be used in skincare for safe products; however, there are safe alternatives to parabens.

What are Safer Alternatives to Parabens?

You can find many different preservatives in almost every health and beauty product, from toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, lipstick, body wash, scrubs, cleansers, serums, moisturizers, lotions, and more.

The parabens:

• Benzylparaben
• Butylparaben
• Ethylparaben
• Isopropylparaben
• Isobutylparaben
• Methylparaben
• Propylparaben

Propylparaben is the most commonly used in cosmetics and has been linked to breast cancer. Studies have shown that paraben use can increase sensitivities in individuals.

Natural Alternatives to Parabens

• Leucidal Liquid
• Leucidal Complete
• Leucidal SF Max
• Silver
• Sodium Benzoate
• Lactobacillus
• Gluconate

Plain and simple, there are just better alternatives.
