If you are still using products with Parabens in them, there’s reason to consider eliminating them. Parabens (methyl, butyl, propyl) are used in most personal care, including so called “natural” brands as a preservative. Disturbing questions have been raised by the Journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology and by Thomas Connor, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Texas-Houston School of Public Health about the safety of parabens. The estrogenic effects of these preservatives and others is concerning and demands further testing.

First link below lists companies that offer paraben free products (as well as pthalate free).
