In today's blog post, we're going to talk about a topic that has become increasingly important to us - "parabens". At The Every we are passionate about creating hair care products that are gentle, effective and beneficial for sensitive hair and scalp. One of our most important principles is that our products should be completely free of parabens and other harmful chemicals.

What are parabens?

First of all, let's find out what parabens actually are. Parabens are synthetic preservatives that have been used in cosmetics and beauty products for decades. Their main purpose is to prevent bacterial growth and extend the shelf life of products.

Why do we avoid parabens?

Some of you may wonder why we actively avoid parabens in our products. The answer is simple - we care about your health and our planet! There have been concerns that parabens can have endocrine disrupting properties and can be harmful to our bodily balance. In addition, they are not good for the environment as they can end up in the sewage system and negatively affect our ecosystem.

So what do we use instead?

We have chosen to use natural preservatives and mild ingredients to ensure that our products are gentle on you and the environment. We are proud that every product in The Every's range is completely free of parabens, sulfates and cyclic silicones!
