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.

Are you high, OP? These are not typical things that just pop into a well grounded individuals mind- like you said this question did.

Parabens are chemical preservatives used in things like cosmetics. When liberally sprayed on lab animals (1000 times) normal human usage, said Rats are said to be more likely to developed cancer. On speculation but I strongly believe that the stress a lab rat experiences in it's short life might also cause it to get cancer. Anyway I don't wear cosmetics at work. Too many of my patients react to the scents. Besides hair spray would keep my long sexy hair from flowing freely.

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 strongly believe that the only way to achieve the perfect well oiled hair look is to use paraben-free hair products. To use anything else would be a disgrace to Flo herself.

my parabens don't like to go to work; they like to stay home and eat things...

If you wear a white coat in the forest, does your parabens matter?

Did you mean : If you wear a white coat in the forest, and your parabens falls over, does it make a sound?

Haha.sorry.:laugh:

If your parabens kill a bear and the bear falls over in the woods, would his farts still stink?
