Unfortunately there're still lots of products contain these chemical stuffs whether it's makeup, skincare, haircare, bodycare... and some of them somehow work wonders than natural products (plus price wise, they're usually on the expensive side) and some articles mention that certain type of parabens aren't so harmful.. hhmm.. I think there'll be more arguments and reserach about this thing.. ^_^Indira Cherietmoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333940371678779126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098752926625319420.post-77472472060887426252013-03-24T17:47:57.583+00:002013-03-24T17:47:57.583+00:00amazing post - very informative.

I'm glad that you are delving into the realities and risks of certain cosmetic ingredients. It's a really confusing world! And one that I am still wading my way through and trying to figure things out. As you said, "short of stopping breathing" just about anything can be toxic to your body! Sometimes though, certain ingredients can be hyped up to be bad, and so maybe you'll buy something that's "paraben-free" but then have no idea that they've substituted something far more dangerous in lieu of parabens. I'm of the opinion that the more natural the ingredients, the safer you are. But I also agree with you, even the word "natural" can have its unpleasant realities. Looking forward to your next post! <br /><br />-Kareen<br />http://www.ziba-blog.comZibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055481936768123064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098752926625319420.post-8126126388338340872013-03-20T22:22:26.620+00:002013-03-20T22:22:26.620+00:00Such an awesome post, I think more people need to ...Such an awesome post, I think more people need to be aware of this.

It's so called paraffin liquidium, which is another great way to confuse us all! I've also decided that once my current shampoo/conditioner runs out I'm going to use a SLS free one.
