Do you go to work with parabens on you?

What do you think of going to work with parabens on you?

Do you generally avoid parabens when you get ready to go to work in the morning, or do you apply them liberally? Do you think parabens factor into creating a "safe" environment? Some people are strongly against parabens. Where do you fall on the matter of bringing in parabens to work or spraying parabens around at work.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Farawyn]

Chemicals. OP, are you asking about makeup and perfume? Or something else? Anything nefarious?

[Whispera, MSN, RN]

they're preservatives used in cosmetics/hair care thingies, etc....

[Farawyn]

For me: A smidge. Just a smidge of parabens get me through most days.

[RNdynamic]

Yeah, they're chemicals in cosmetics, deodorants, hairsprays. I saw some commercial advertising paraben free, and wondered if people took that into consideration when coming to work.

I spray parabens in the bathroom after I sit there for a while when my unit is crazy busy or there is a code happening. I find that it makes the unit more therapeutic for me.
