There seems to be more interest today in paraben free skin creams than ever before. And for good reason: paraben has been linked to several medical conditions, including skin irritation, allergic reactions and, most serious, cancer. Paraben is a suspected carcinogen that has even turned up in the tissue of some women who have breast cancer. While this does not prove that paraben causes cancer, it does suggest that it is something we should want to avoid having in our bodies.

What exactly are parabens? They are preservatives added to many skin creams and lotions that help to extend their shelf life until they are sold. While this may be good for the finances of cosmetic manufacturers, there is growing concern that it is not good for the health and well being of their customers.

Other potentially harmful substances that ought to be avoided when looking at skin creams include fragrances, mineral oils, and a chemical called coumarin, which can be toxic to several organs, including the kidneys and the liver. Both fragrances and mineral oils can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions.

A better alternative to paraben preservatives in skin cream is natural vitamin E, also known as tocopherol. Make sure it is included as an ingredient when you are looking for a natural skin care cream or lotion.

Other natural substances to look for in skin creams that are paraben free include coenzyme Q10, Phytessence Wakame, and Cynergy TK. Coenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant that works to repair skin that has suffered free radical damage. Phytessence Wakame is a Japanese product extracted from sea kelp. Like coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, it is an antioxidant that helps prevent and repair skin damage, and it also promotes new skin growth. Cynergy TK is a product from New Zealand derived from sheep's wool. It is a substance rich in the protein keratin and it serves to replenish the natural proteins of the skin, which leads to a reduction in the skin's lines and wrinkles.

There can be no doubt that natural skin creams and lotions are better for you in terms of both your overall health and the health of your skin. With the growing number of natural products available, there is just no reason to entrust the health of your skin to skin products that continue to use ingredients that are known to be harmful and ineffective. If you want your skin to be restored to a more youthful appearance and feel, start by replacing your old skin care products with paraben free products containing all natural ingredients.
