Parabens in beauty products - linked to cancer!!

I only use natural products, because the chemicals used in mainstream products are linked to health risks. Are you aware of this?

Especially parabens, a common preservative that can be found in almost all toiletries, have been linked to breast cancer so I think it's worth avoiding them.

It's not common knowledge so I just wanted to share an interesting article that appeared in the Daily Mail (UK) today as it refers to academic research on this topic:

Do have a read of the ingredients list on the bottles that you have in your bathroom. If you don't know what they mean, you can find out more about each ingredient on the Cosmetics Database website, which will tell you how toxic it is: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/?gclid=COvpyLPjwJsCFdYB4wod0Em qTAhanks=1

Be empowered!! Do your own research and make sure you are aware of what you put on your skin...
