Name That Ingredient: Hair Care Edition! Part 3

Hi there!
Today I'll be adding the final ingredient of the Name That Ingredient's Hair Care series. On the back of many cosmetics and hair care products, you're sure to find either methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, or butylparaben. Parabens are additives that act as a preservative.


Recently, they've become a topic of medical controversy because several studies have linked them to hormone disruptions, early puberty and breast cancer.

The following article from Livestrong.com can tell you a little more about this preservative and why many choose to stay away from all parabens.

Wishing You Happy, Healthy Hair!
