Since this brand is very well known as the safest and most effective skincare, this may come as a shock. It was quite shocking for me too as I am devoted to their products. However, they all contain Propylparaben which is classified as a hazardous ingredient and is prohibited in leave-on products. If you do not already know, parabens are highly harmful to humans as they are endocrine disruptors that exhibit estrogenic and anti-androgenic properties. This means they may contribute to the development of estrogen-dependent tumours and thus certain breast cancers. Their SPF stuff contains Octocrylene and Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate which is a common chemical UV filter allergic in particular cases to the sun. It is also a suspected endocrine disruptor. SPF stuff also contains parabens and BHT which are also classified as hazardous.
