Paraben-Free Hair & Beauty

In recent years, concerns have risen about the inclusion of certain ingredients in hair and beauty products. SLS and ammonia are top of the naughty list, but one of the biggest offenders is parabens. This synthetic preservative is used to prolong the lifespan of products, particularly by preventing bacteria and mould growth.

Sounds good, right?

We are unhappy to report scientists are no longer certain about the safety of parabens. In fact, many articles suggest you should keep a sceptical eye on ingredients like butylparaben, methylparaben and propylparaben — the most commonly found parabens.

Let’s discuss why some customers are making the paraben-free switch today.

Learn About Paraben In Skincare

Although the percentage of paraben in skincare is very small, the impact can be noticeable. The ingredient is thought to cause irritation and even allergic reactions in certain skin types. If you’re worried about this effect, we recommend paraben-free skincare from our most nourishing brands.

One of our top picks is Korean-inspired Innisfree, which has produced Innisfree Green Tea Cleaning Foam, Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream and more. Meanwhile, the Himalayan-infused brand Herbal Essentials offers fan-favourites like Herbal Essentials Cucumber & Rose Water Refreshing Toner.

Paraben-Free Haircare

Haircare is not immune from the effects of parabens either. You can expect dryness, fading colour and scalp irritation in some cases. To be safe, we recommend paraben-free haircare like 18 In 1 Professional Nourishing Duo Pack, 12 Reasons Argan Oil Mask, 12 Reasons Styling Cream and more.

This collection of products will meet all your haircare needs without the downsides.
