Preservatives in some cosmetics cause allergic reactions, but there are alternatives
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Many cosmetic and personal care products contain synthetic preservatives called parabens that cause allergic skin reactions in many people, and celebritycafe.com gives advice and recommendations for products that are paraben-free.
Parabens are synthetic preservatives used in cosmetics and personal care products and are which can give many people allergic reactions.
Parabens-- such as propylparaben, ethylparaben and butylparaben--are synthetic preservatives commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products like shampoos, skin creams and deodorants.
There appears to be a demand for paraben free products, and when conducting our research, we had a tough time locating any.
We enjoyed all the bath products we tried, but our clear favorites were AuraCacia Tranquility Aromatherapy Mineral Bath, Aromafloria Pomegranate Bath Fizz, vonNatur Lemongrass Bath Salts, and Soothe Your Senses Lagniappe Calming Bath Tea.
After a nice bath you want to pamper your skin with a great moisturizer.
For those who prefer body oil, AuraCacia Grapeseed Natural Skin Care Oil was very silky and not greasy.
Some of our favorites were Tanline Body Butter with Shea and Coco, vonNatur deep tissue whipped butter and Brown Bag Botanicals Lavender Orange Shea Butter.
Artemis Woman Gem Therapy Hand & Body Cream Energy- Clear Quartz was a great product that doubles as a hand cream.
There have been many sunless tanning products developed in the last few years, but we found two of the only paraben free ones that were pretty easy to use-- Tanline Visible Results Self-Tanning Spray and Coppertone Endless Summer Gradual Tan Moisturizing Lotion.
We found an excellent product from Ziaja cosmetics called Ziaja lipocell bloker firming massage oil.
Max Green Alchemy (MGA) sole rescue Foot Balm, Artemis Woman Healing Gems Topaz Foot Butter, and Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream.
Ziaja Goat's Milk Hand & Nail Cream and Ziaja Aretinol Q Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream are both excellent products.
Burt's Bees makes a great Wild Lettuce Complexion Soap which is great for sensitive skin.
These two products deep clean your hair and provide relief for an itchy dry scalp.
