Parabens?

Post by freesilk » Wed Feb 18, 2009 4:13 am

I was just wondering if the SN mascara has parabens in it. I'm assuming that none of the other products have them, but if someone knows otherwise I'd like to know. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

yes, the mascara does have parabens.

Mascara

Water, Propylene Glycol, Beeswax, Glyceryl Stearate, Tricontanyl PVP, Stearic Acid, Kaolin, Paraffin, PVP, Triethanolamine, Carnuaba Wax, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Keratin, Lecithin, Simethicone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Imadazolidinyl Urea, Trisodium EDTA. May Contain: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Ultramarines

As Karen says "Yes- these have parabens in them- for a product that goes near your eyes, these are still the preservative of choice."

If you want the full list of ingredients for anything else, click on the 'ingredients' tab in the purple bar a the top of the home page & they're all there.

HTH.

kitten is right. There are parabens in the mascara. It is a product that Karen sources, rather than make her own. I agree that I would want to be certain that my wet eye products were well preserved so I feel comfortable using them at least 6 months. I can't afford a new tube of mascara every two weeks or so.
