Have you noticed the increase in advertising for paraben-free products and wondered to yourself “What are parabens anyways and why should I be avoiding them?
”Parabens are found all too often in skin and hair care products. They’re a synthetic chemical used as a preservative to keep bulk produced items shelf stable as they move from factories to trucks to store shelves.
Not only are parabens known for stripping hair and skin of natural oils that help naturally moisturize and regulate the balance of oil production - leading to oilier hair and skin as your body attempts to compensate - but they’ve also been connected with dermatological issues and allergic reactions.
Worst of all, parabens have been found to disrupt the hormones in your body. Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen in both males and females, leading to issues with the reproductive system such as changes in sperm count and menstrual cycles.
Every single Gingerly Snapped in product is paraben-free. We create our products in small batches so there is less need to add preservatives and choose naturally anti microbial ingredients, such as coconut oil, to help create shelf stability.
