11/07/2023

In today's blog post, we will dive into a hot topic in the hair care world - parabens. You may have heard about them before, but what exactly are parabens and how do they affect your hair and scalp? We will give you all the information you need to make informed decisions about the products you choose to use.

What are parabens?

Parabens are a common group of preservatives used in the beauty industry. Their main purpose is to prevent bacterial growth and keep products fresh for a longer period of time. Parabens are not only found in hair care products, but are also used in makeup, skin care and other personal products.

Why is it a concern?

There has been some concern and debate about the use of parabens in cosmetics. Some studies have suggested that parabens may have hormonal properties and that they can be absorbed through the skin. This has led to concerns about their possible impact on our health, especially given their common presence in products we use on a daily basis.

Parabens and hair care

In hair care products, parabens are mainly used as preservatives to extend the shelf life of products. But what does this mean for your hair and scalp? It is important to note that in the right concentrations and in safe formulations, parabens do not pose a significant risk to most people. Most authorities and experts consider the use of parabens in cosmetics to be safe.
