Paraben-Free: So What?

Here at GR8SKN, we are proud to be paraben-free! Sure, that sounds like a good thing, but how many of us actually know what parabens are—or what they do?

Parabens are compounds used as preservatives in most cosmetics and beauty products. A small 2004 study suggested that these compounds may be linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. However, most toxicologists have since discounted this claim, asserting that the evidence was inconclusive. This is further complicated by the fact that some parabens occur naturally—in blueberries, for instance.

Nevertheless, we'd rather not take the risk. Luckily, GR8SKN packaging—the airless pump, combined with the opaque bottles—allows us to avoid using these potentially harmful chemical as preservatives.
