The only human mentioned was the one with parabens found in the beast tumor. Our body is a complex instrument and the inner workings are even more complex. Science is still in the industrial age when it comes to how the body works. We have made many strives but are not the real experts yet. I will keep parabens out of all my Skincare Harvest products. Food for thought, for some apparent reason all the major companies in skincare market are providing customers with paraben free products. What aren't they telling us? Or was the scare started by them? I would rather use a natural preservative to stay on the side of caution. I don't lock my doors and don't check them, everyone is welcomed in my home and if you come to do us harm you will wish you didn't. Made in USA!

There is NO scientific proof that this is true and the tests that were done in the above-mentioned studies all indicate that further research is necessary to determine the actual risks of parabens in skin care products. Parabens are natural preservatives and are ingested by humans on a daily basis. The studies that took place all used an unrealistic amount of parabens to obtain the results that they 'might' cause cancer. These studies were not conclusive and only suggested that additional research was necessary. That was several years ago and still no new information has come to my attention that parabens are causing cancer. The scare is just that: a scare tactic that was probably funded in some part by a company that is in direct competition to paraben distributors.

According to one of my favorite dermatologists, founder and chief of the Department of Cosmetic Dermatology at the University of Miami and author of The Skin Type Solution, Dr. Leslie Baumann, M.D., parabens in deodorants may be less irritating than natural ingredients. As Dr. Baumann states in her blog on March 16, 2009, “Natural ingredients are much more likely than parabens to cause a skin rash. ” Indeed, most scientists conclude that parabens in the concentrations found in deodorants are safe, as Dr. Baumann establishes in the October 2007 issue of Entrepreneur magazine: “For those not allergic to parabens, there are no scientifically established reasons to avoid the plethora of cosmetic and skin care products that contain these preservatives.” (For more on parabens, please visit this very comprehensive review of parabens by Dr. Baumann, and a brief FutureDerm review here.)
