Parabens safe to use in cosmetics, says European safety committee
Parabens are safe to use as cosmetics preservatives although use levels for some of the compounds in the family should be reduced, according to a European safety committee.
If you follow the stories put out about parabens, you’d get the impression that it is horribly toxic, and that it is only the lack of regulations in the United States that lets manufacturers continue to poison us with it.
So here is the European Union looking at the data, and deciding that parabens is safe for use as a cosmetic preservative.
Go figure.
Is this a case of “give a dog a bad name?”
