• Answer:

  Yes and no. Parabens are a class of persevatives found in lots of things from toothpastes, deodorants, and foods. They are either a salt or sugar base, and offer no real benefit to the product, aside from creating logetivity of shelf life. salts and sugars can be good for the skin, or they can be just non reactive, meaning the offer no benefit nor side effect. the only caution to parabens for people, is people with sensitive skins, as salts or sugar bases can irritate skin further. there is also no studies shown to prove a negative side effect to paraben use, and is general accepted as safe. another down fall of parabens, aside from use in Make up cosmetics, is the sugar factor, if products containing sugar parabens are improperly stored or used they do have the potential to create a yeast infection. these risks to yeast infects are very very low, so much so that they are nearly a non issue. but the risk is still there. as far as make up cosmetics are concerned, parabens are not harmful to your skin, and are safe to use.
