Do you go to work with parabens on you?

[RNdynamic]

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 probably slather a few on, and spray a few around during my work day. Eeeeeee.

I haven't read all the posts yet. But what's a peraben?

[Magsulfate, BSN, RN]

Oh wait. I googled it.

I usually don't have time for parabens. I barely have time to put on parapants and parasocks.

I don't make enough to carry around parabens

I wear parabens when parasailing

Well, I think it's probably both because if the pee was full of parabens & got into the couch then the couch would also be full of parabens. Is that right?

Wouldn't the parabens cancel each other out in this situation? ? I mean if there were parabens already on the couch before you peed on it?

The U.S. does not ban any parabens. Also some fragrances are odorless. In the US "fragrance" can include anything they want, it's not regulated at all.

Some of you think it's funny to joke around about parabens but there are people like myself who are allergic (not sensitive) to them. It's very difficult to shop for products that I can use and that actually work and yes finding a deodorant that works is almost impossible. Please don't make fun of people for this it's hard enough living with it and not being able to purchase most cosmetics.

Im very active in environmental health policies in my state. If this is something that's new to you or you don't understand it, I would suggest doing some research. for example look into what they replaced BPA with?

I definitely wasn't making fun of the issue. But I do love wordplay.

Not a big fan and not a user of fragrances. My wife is pretty sensitive herself. Strangely, one of the fragrances that gives me a headache is lavender.

The fact that people are making light of the OP is more of a function of the prior posts made by this person than anything else.

Yes, parabens are gross. I'm lucky I don't have to think about them that much but I do appreciate a paraben-free foundation. I also think people going to work with flowing, well-oiled hair is also gross and lucky I don't have to think about that because the person who started all these cosmetic-related posts lives in a parallel universe.

I'm a bit late to this party, but I routinely double dip my hair and armpits in parabens.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

yadda yadda yadda...
