Paraben Free Foundation

Parabens are a group of artificial preservatives that have been used in the beauty industry dating all the way back to the 1920s—but science has improved in leaps and bounds since then and suggests that this class of chemicals is better left avoided.

Formally, the chemical compound is a series of parahydroxybenzoates and in our experience, anything that sounds a bit concerning, usually is. Don’t just take our word for it, though. Check out the scientific studies that point to the many adverse effects that come along with these artificial preservatives.

Sure, they’re commonly found in cosmetic products to preserve shelf life and prevent bacterial growth, which is helpful if you’re trying to stretch your dollar to its fullest value, but the side effects of parabens in foundation could cost you more than you save.

Recent research has shown that methyl parabens induced tumor proliferation in breast cancer cells, while both methyl- and butyl parabens are shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Parabens have also been linked to reproductive issues along with several additional eye-raising concerns that affect our general health. They might allow our products to live for months, but it’s far more important to choose healthy cosmetics that are safe to apply.

When it comes to your best asset, be sure to choose a paraben-free foundation that will not harm your complexion. These chemicals are known to absorb into skin, where they then enter our bloodstream and cause havoc throughout our bodies, including the face.

You never want to apply anything that’s going to seep into skin, clog pores, and lead to acne breakouts. That’s why you should choose a Colorescience paraben-free foundation in powder and liquid form. We offer healthy foundation that’s chemical-free and non-comedogenic, so you don’t need to worry about your everyday makeup triggering any flare-ups.

After all, the goal is to conceal blemishes and improve your complexion, not worsen its appearance. We offer the best foundation without parabens to bring out your radiant shine with skincare vitality in mind.

Unfortunately, it’s not always as simple as reading a “No Paraben Foundation” label. Many big-name brands sneak these toxins into their products by hiding their long-winded chemical names into a never-ending list of ingredients. It can be difficult to know which ingredients are harmful, but Colorescience makes it easy to shop with confidence.
