However, these ingredients may be harsh on the skin or result in allergic reactions. These are some of the ingredients that spark doubt in cosmetics and beauty products:
Parabens
These are usually used as a preservative and to prevent bacteria from developing, it is incorporated in certain foods and especially in beauty products. Parabens have been around for many years, even as early as the 50’s and were deemed safe for a very long time.
