What is it?
o
Parabens
are a type of preservative
o
They're
used to prolong shelf life in many health and beauty products – preventing the
growth of mould and bacteria within them
o
Since
that, it is used to protect some people from allergy; eczema
o
So
that, product yang kita beli tu akan tahan maybe over a month or a year.
o
It
is cheap – sbb tu selalu digunakan dlm produk yg ada dlm market sekarang
o
It
is used almost 70 years in cosmetics
Why is it bad?
o
It
can get through our skin
o
Study
didn’t prove that paraben can cause cancer, but it will penetrate into our skin
and remain within it.
o
Paraben
mengganggu hormone wanita dgn mimicking hormone estrogen.
o
Bila
banyak sangat hormone estrogen dalam badan, breast cell division and growth of
tumor will increase.
o
And
this is why paraben selalu dikaitkan dengan breast cancer. So, beware of it girls!
Can we use it?
o
Emm,
not exactly. Tapi, kene tgk jugak dia pnye percentage of the amount. Kalau too small,
we can consider jugakla. Kalua percentage dia like 20% - its too much beb! Haha
o
Before
this, my friend told me; “kalau kau nak beli skincare or make-up, cari yang dia
tulis no paraben atau paraben free”
o
But
then, after I read some article abt paraben – one of the article ada cakap yang
even dia tulis paraben free, x semestinya dia bagus
o
It
is because they may use other synthetic ingredients yang akan merosakkan muka
kita – especially for those yang sensitive-skin
o
And
do not expect the product that write “paraben free” on it is a very natural or
greenwash skincare eh. Reason dia same like point kat atas.
How to know
your product have paraben in it?
o
Tengok
dekat ingredient – methyl-paraben / ethyl-paraben / butyl-paraben
o
So
kalau methyl ngan ethyl – completely safe to use (green light)
o
Butyl-paraben,
propyl-paraben, isobutyl-paraben, isopropyl-paraben
(seldom use) – yellow light (medium-dangerous to use it)
Refer to this

**Kalau dalam skincare
product korang ada paraben or other ingredients yang will make your acne worst tu, janganla boycott terus product tu. Just don’t use it frequently if your skin break out. Least the usage of the products laa. Kalau boleh, macam make up
tu, haa xyah makeup sangat bila muka tgh berjerawat. Bagi muka kita rest. Ok tu
je. Bye ;)
