This is scary!  We are  told that this preservative used in the making personal cleaning products AND food is totally unregulated and is ubiquitous.  The only way of not getting side effects of one's body converting paraben compounds to estrogen-like compound is avoidance,  and there is apparently no way of avoiding it.   Am sure the men might have more to say about it.   Is this going to go the way of microbeads in soaps.  They are still on shelves, despite the Ontario government guaranteeing they are banned.  They aren't.
