Parabens cause premature ageing - new study

It is a little ironic that Parabens, which are widely used in anti-ageing creams, have been linked to premature ageing.

A new Japanese study has demonstrated that when products containing Methyl Paraben are combined with ultra violet light, there is damage to your DNA and skin.

So avoid sun creams with Methyl Paraben or using a moisturiser containing it on a sunny day!

There are lots of manufacturers still backing Parabens (while no doubt frantically reformulating their products!), and where possible citing research showing it is safe.

It is worth pointing out that much current testing (including this study) on the safety of Parabens involve testing on animals.

At Pai, we take the precautionary approach - if there is a doubt about an ingredient's safety, we don't use it.

And we certainly don't condone animal testing of ingredients - all our products contain only natural ingredients and are tested on willing humans!
