Q. After reading about a British study reporting that parabens in antiperspirants contribute to breast cancer, some of my clients don’t want the substance in their cosmetics. I am looking to you to help clarify this issue for me. Are parabens harmful, or are they safe? Is it true that they have been banned in Europe and Japan?

This article breaks down the new certification standard that has been created for cosmetic and personal  care products.

Hopefully this is a shift in the right direction!
