Paraben-Free
What is Paraben-Free?
Parabens are synthetic chemicals (preservatives) used in beauty products for giving them a longer shelf life. They prevent the growth of fungi and other microorganisms in beauty, food and hygiene products. Preservatives are used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold in cosmetics to protect both the products and consumers. There are different kinds of parabens that are most commonly used in cosmetics and these are called methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben. The list of ingredients on product labels are combined with other types of preservatives most of the time and the purpose of this is to protect the product from unwanted microorganisms.
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), cosmetic products and ingredients, other than color additives, do not need FDA approval before they go on the market.
However, it is against the law to market a cosmetic in interstate commerce if it is adulterated or misbranded. This means, for example, that cosmetics must be safe for consumers when used according to directions on the label or in the customary way, and they must be properly labeled.
FDA can take action against a cosmetic on the market that does not comply with the laws we enforce. However, to take action against a cosmetic for safety reasons, we must have reliable scientific information showing that the product is harmful when consumers use it according to directions on the label or in the customary way.
