What’s in My Cosmetic Products?
*EDIT*
Also, look out for ***hydroxybenzoic acid***, which is another form of preservative.
Here are some really good resources… Be sure to research for yourself!!!

Ok, excuse my miswording. Paraben is not *highly associated* with cancer. It is possibly or it is hypothesized that paraben may be correlated with an increased occurrence of cancers. So just because you’ve been using products containing paraben, it doesn’t mean that you are going to get cancer. It might increase the risks for you if you use it over a long period of time. The fact is we just don’t have enough evidence right now. But you get my point…. it’s still nothing good….
This video is NOT meant to accuse any particular product or cosmetic product manufaturer. I’m just sharing some of the facts that I know. Hopefully, it will raise some awareness in the girls or boys out there.
And of course, there’s only a limited amount of information that I know, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
Thank you for watching~~~

Thank you for making this video! I’ve been aware of this sort of thing for a few months now and it’s good to see some people are making videos to spread the word.

wow I thought eucerine was a superior brand, I didn’t expect to hear it had these kind of ingredients

Hi there!!! Yeah, …
Hi there!!! Yeah, these ingredients can be found everywhere. I still kept mine. But I don’t use them as often as other non-paraben, mineral ones. It’s just because I’m such a blush junkie. But if they haven’t caused you any irritation yet, you can probably still use it until you replace your collection w/ something not as harsh for your skin.

I’m so glad I …
I’m so glad I watched this video. I just found out one of my blushes contains talc, methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, butylparaben, bismuth oxychloride AND carmine! That’s like all the ones you mentioned :S So, I was wondering. Should I throw away these products or can I still use them? What did you do with yours?

thanks for the warning

There is a lot of …
There is a lot of evidence showing that paraben is linked to breast cancer. But it’s not like you use products containing paraben, and boom, you get cancer. I’m certain to say that everyone has used products containing paraben some time in their lifetime. You’ll probably either need a long period of exposure or be predisposed genetically. It’s a matter of probability. I was just trying to raise the awareness.

almost everything on this planet is harmful in one way or another thats pretty much the way of life so bet if all of those preseratives were’nt in makeup very one would be complaning that their makeup rotted to fast

omg. after i saw …
omg. after i saw this video, i returned my eyeshadow palette cause there’s paraben in it. i only thought that paraben only contains in skin products or foundation primers, not in powder eueshadows. They also contain vaseline in it, which is pretty weird. I though that Vaseline is a brand which sells Petroleum.

You are awsome I …
You are awsome I have been telling people about parabins and they thik I’m crazy. Please do a vid on department store brands I think you will have less of a chance of finding a ton of parabins. Let me know do you get what you pay for? I have never used drug store products before.

I read that paraben thing on FDA’s website 2 days ago, because I am using some products that contain paraben. But thanks for the video!

could you do a video of safe products to use as cleansers, soaps, lotions, etc. I have redness and bumps on my cheeks and chin and I can’t seem to find anything to make my skin clear.
December 1st, 2009 at 9:12 am
Yeah, like I said, …
Yeah, like I said, almost all lotions contain parabens. Without paraben, the shelf life of lotions would be extremely short, then it’s just not practical to replace your lotion every few weeks….

Hey after seeing …
Hey after seeing this video.. i went to check some of the products I have and surprisingly my johnson baby lotion had 3 parabens D=

for lush, it’s usu. in jars, so you put your fingers in there, & bacteria gets in. with fancl, they’re usu. in pumps or tubes, so bacteria cant really get in in the 1st place. so i don’t think frige storing these types of container will help.

I stopped using any product that contained talc because it was breaking me out. Thats also why i switched to everyday minerals foundation =]
