Propylparaben

I don't know what to believe because in some website it says that you should not worry about that chemical that it is just a preservative and it won't do you harm

in other websites that I read it says that you should completely avoid it because it caused allergies, immunotoxity,
and developmental and reproductive toxity

Well, there is a controversy over parabens. My suggestion would be to avoid it until you're sure it won't be harmful :)

Kitty is the right person to ask I hope she comments she knows so much about ingredients in skin care! What website did you hear it from some site aren't really reliable and say whatever they like sadly.

Parabens have been found in the tissue of women with beast cancer and research is ongoing to see I'd it is a cause. I would say it is best to avoid it until more definitive research comes out.

Parabens come from natural sources and are the most gentle and natural preservatives used in beauty. You consume parabens daily as they are found in numerous food and fruits and occur naturally.
The hype behind paraben is hype that is constantly debunked.
