Parabens are man-made chemicals often used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foods, and beverages. Common parabens are methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. I try to avoid these compounds as there is research suggesting that they alter hormone function and can negatively affect brain health. #parabenfree #toxicingredients #cleanproducts #cereve #facelotion
