This is an excellent question. And I set out to do research myself. I walked into a store and I picked up several products to see how many out there still have parabens. What are the major products that I see being promoted online that still contain these ingredients? One of them being CeraVe. CeraVe is one of the major brands out there right now.

Some of their face washes still have parabens in them. For no good reason, parabens are completely unnecessary. They're basically used to extend the shelf life. They're preservatives. They don't need to be used. There are plenty of other safer alternative preservatives out there. And it's basically because they're extremely effective in sheep. So they're not being phased out as of yet.

Other products that I found were Nivea body lotion, which I personally used for quite a long time. And the issue with body lotion is that you apply it generally over large parts of the body and you don't rinse it off. So the chance for toxic absorption is greater than any other type of product.

There could be several reasons for this. One of them is definitely profit driven, simply because of the effectiveness and the low cost, but also the higher cost of having to substitute their ingredients. but it isn't until consumers become aware of these problematic ingredients and demand safer ingredients that some of these companies will actually start taking action.

So that's really the purpose of why I felt it to be so important to share this information, because most people who are using cosmetics these days are young women. There was a study showing that up to 70% of young girls below the age of 12 are actually using cosmetics.

Being lotions, fragrances, makeup, any of those type of products that are to enhance physical appearance, those are considered cosmetics. And kids are starting to use them at younger ages these days. And this is something that we really need to pay attention to. since disease rates are skyrocketing among younger populations. So they're not disconnected, I think.

Absolutely. When it comes to understanding the safety or the toxicity of a chemical, let's say, Most studies are done in animal models, so rats and mice, and they're given extremely high doses for short periods of time, maybe longer periods, but when it comes to doing these studies, it could be a million dollars. It could take two or three years to study.
