shirley 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 I learnt something very important recently, and I really want to share this with as many people as possible. Please check your skin care products for "paraben" content. Paraben is a chemical that is used in majority of the skin care product to ensure they will last long in their shelf life (a kind of preservative), and this chemical is suspected to be causing cancer. Imagine we keep applying something which is so harmful to our health, 2 times a day Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraben After I know that paraben contain in majority of the skin care products, I checked all the products that I'm using now and OMG!!!! All of them contain paraben. Now I seriously don't know what to do with them. At first I thought I want to finish them before changing to use Sense (USANA skin care range) since my FH is doing the business. But I think I will throw them aside and start using Sense because Sense is the only product (that I know of) in Malaysia that do not contain paraben. I am convinced with Sense not because my FH is doing the business. But there are supportive facts that Sense or USANA products are safe to be consumed, just check here -> http://www.safecosmetics.org/companies/signers.cfm I hope this piece of information can help as many people out there as possible. If you want to know more information about Sense/ USANA, you can PM me or browse http://www.michaeljylim.usana.com/lead_collector_form_en.cfm and enter your information in the form. My FH will contact you to explain to you in more detail. I am sharing this because it seems to me most people out there are still ignorant about these facts like I used to be. So... go and check out the skin care products that you are currently using ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
