@Jackie First of all congratulations on being a survivor! You're an inspiration to many including myself! I have a few friends who are survivors and they definitely stay away from products with parabens, soy, even aluminum... I think it's excellent that you returned that product. I know Korres makes skincare cleansing systems as well as makeup that are paraben-free. but I also heard through the grapevine that Bare Esscentuals is about to unveil a whole paraben, silicone and pthalate-free skincare line as well. so sit tight, when I hear about it I'll blog about it ok? Thanks so much for your coment!

I have just purchased “No7 Protect & Perfect Skincare System” 14 days ago. I have yet to use it because of all the parabens I read in the ingredients. I have contacted the comapany 3 times in the past 14 days with no response. After researching on my own I am returning their product for a full refund.Becuase I am a breast cancer survivor and on medication to STOP estrogen production… I cannot have anything that could possibly be estrogen producing.

Thanks for this great article on parabens! I am trying to take the time and sit down with at least one of your wonderfully informative articles each day. I started my safer more natural lifestyle about 5 years ago when I was introduced to Melaleuca and organic food! I haven’t taken much time to learn a lot of the details on exact label ingredients but I know most of what to avoid and have a general idea of why. I believe their products are all paraben free but now I’ll have to check the labels to make sure. At this point however I love their products and I know it’s better then the alternative which would be using nothing or regular products I know are laden with carcinogens until I find something. Have you done a product review on any of their products yet?
