Parabens have been controversial since they were found in breast cancer tumors in a 2004 study. They are used in almost every cosmetic product from deodorant, shampoo to body lotion, etc. It seems almost impossible to find anything without parabens in them, but it is possible ... it just involves so much more work.
Here is a decent article about the subject: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/healthcare/health/healthcare/studies/story/2012-01-13/Does-deodorant-ingredient-affect-breast-cancer-risk/52528952/1
Each person must decide for themselves whether they want to take their own health into their hands or whether they want to wait for a study to tell us what we already know -- parabens are dangerous. I am not waiting around. Cancer makes you so helpless. For a year and a half, I have been taking back the power, bit by bit.
