I'm curious about how many people avoid paraben. I am not sure whether to avoid it or not. I use a lot of cosmetic products and I feel like i'm not the only one. I know some people, like my dad for example use very little cosmetics aside from soap. And yes most soaps have paraben in them but using just soap is probably not huge exposure. I on the other hand, use a lot more than just soap. I mean, moisturizers, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, hair gel, facial cleanser, facial exfoliator...It's a lot. So I'm considering starting to avoid paraben. I love antibacterial soap because i'm germophobic. But, I guess I'll be willing to start using some hand made soaps and start going to LUSH and wholefoods more often and buy all of my cosmetics from there. What do you guys think?? Are paraben free products for paranoid people or is it a legitimate concern?
