Getting Rid of Parabens

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to the group, and I'm very thankful that this resource exists. It helps

tie information that I already had, but didn't have all the pieces of together.

 

Someone mentioned Optiphen as an alternative to parabens. What do you all know

about Suttocide A? Appreciate it. Tam

I personally don't like the smell. I have heard others state that it can

get really smelly when combined with some ingredients.

I think the fact that parabens have been found in human breast tumours (Journal

of Applied Toxicology v.24, i.1, 1jan04) is a serious concern, one that should

not be discounted.

reports on the net are based on a single piece of lousy research done

in a Reading University here in the UK. That report was taken up by

the media and spread around the world like wildfire. The fact the

report has since been exposed as full of faults has not been so

widely reported. One always has to strike a balance with such issues

and although parabens are chemicals, I would consider having a

product free of harmful organisms is far more important than having

products with suspect preserative systems. Incidentally, we do not

know the long term effects of some of the natural preservatives

either.

Hi Tammy,

 

It will destroy the base completely by over heating it, more so if it

has any whole oils in it. And it will not evaporate the preservative.

It might be destroyed at the high heat, but so will all that base

product. Parabens have been used for many, many years, probably the

oldest of broad spectrum preservatives. I have a few friends that

are allergic to one of the parabens, Methylparaben, but if it is not

the only one used and is mixed with the other preservatives, they do

not have a problem. Strange thing, but they were willing to do some

testing for my several years back and this is what we found.

 

Also the junk that has been fed into the " natural " industry of it

being found in tumors, etc. is just that, junk. Someone some where

wanted to sell their product and in order to do that they had to

trash another product with bogus testing and in many cases, no

testing at all, just a bunch of words. If my breast cancer tumor has

been put to extensive testing, I am sure that they would have found

not only tiny amounts of preservative, but many other chemicals,

EO's, minerals and on and on and on in that tumor. What goes on the

skin does go into the body and might or might not attach itself to

cancer cells.

 

If one is worried about using a broad spectrum preservative, don't

make a stay on the skin product with water in it. I make a few body

butters for several people that do not wish to have preservatives in

their products. And what is neat about the way they use them is they

use a little water on the skin where they are going to apply the

butter and it spreads more and sinks in faster. Tried it myself,

since my skin is such a mess because of the chemo treatments and it

works so nicely that I recommend it to anyone that uses the butters I

make. But with any product with water, there needs to be a broad

spectrum preservative used in order to keep down those nasty things

that can cause problems, like eye infections when used on the eye

area or if the unpreserved lotion or cream was used on the skin where

there was a cut, it could cause an infection.

 

Well I went over a bit there, but hope that it helps. :-)
