Parabens: A Bad Reputation, Richly Deserved


Parabens are low molecular weight synthetic preservatives used in a wide range of personal care products. They are endocrine disrupters, which means they can interrupt and/or disrupt the flow of hormones in the body. Their primary impact appears to be as an estrogen-mimic with mild carcinogenic properties. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that parabens can permeate the skin, enter the body and bio-accumulate. Parabens appear to be most troublesome in areas where absorption is most likely – e.g., in deodorants and shaving cream. Some studies have found a connection between parabens and breast cancer.

Sana does not use Parabens, or, for that matter, any other synthetic preservative.
