PARABENS* The safety of paraben as preservative has been reviewed by Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) in 1984. It has been concluded that methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben were safe for use in cosmetic products at levels up to 25%.* Typically parabens are used at levels ranging from 0.01 to 0.3%* A study by Darbre et al., has detected parabens in breast tumors.* The study also discussed on the weak estrogen-like properties of parabens and the influence on breast cancer, however, the study did not show that parabens can cause cancer.* Although parabens can act similarly to estrogen, they have been shown to have much less estrogenic activity than the body’s naturally occurring estrogen. Further, parabens are used at very low levels in cosmetics.

Preservatives & Fragrances* Fragrances and preservatives are the two most clinically relevant allergens found in cosmetic products causes of contact allergy. Fragrances account for 30–45% of allergic reactions to cosmetics. Allergic reactions produce side effects include skin sensitivity, dermatitis, asthma attacks and migraine.* Fragrances are naturally a volatile chemical. Products that contain fragrance chemical will ends up in the air. The main focus of safety testing in fragrance industry is the effect to skin. Fragrance materials can penetrate the skin, absorbed into the bloodstream, and distributed to other organs.* Contact allergy to fragrance ingredients occurs when an individual has been exposed to a sufficient degree of fragrance that cause allergy. Contact allergy is a life-long, specifically altered reactivity in the immune system. As a consequence, symptom such as allergic contact dermatitis may occur upon re-exposure to the fragrance allergens. Allergic contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythema, swelling and vesicles in the acute phase. If exposure continues it may develop into a chronic condition with scaling and painful fissures of the skin..

* Aside from fragrance, preservatives is also the major cause of contact dermatitis. Allergy toward preservatives effect area such as face, neck, and hand. It can also cause health problem such as contact urticarial, an itching with swelling and redness in the skin.
