Risk of infertility from preservatives in cosmetics

Parabens - artificial preservatives, against microorganisms added by manufacturers in a variety of beauty products such as cosmetics, lotions, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving creams and skin products.

When buying shaving cream or beauty products, you should carefully check the chemical ingredients.

Recently, parabens have created concerns among consumers because of their serious side effects on health.

Recently, the health sector in some countries had to recall beauty products on the market suspected of containing parabens because they affect male reproductive function, affect the endocrine system, and cause premature aging...

From low sperm count, difficulty having children...

The results of a study published in the Applied Toxicology Journal show that parabens may be the "culprit" causing the development of some types of breast cancer. Specifically, parabens have an estrogen-like effect, which can increase the risk of developing breast cancer in women.

Parabens are also linked to and adversely interfere with the male reproductive system. According to live-naturally.co.uk, findings from many studies have reported that men who regularly use fragrances, deodorants, lotions, shaving creams, scented soaps, etc. will have low sperm counts as well as reduced testosterone levels, which can lead to difficulty in having children.

Scientists now suspect that chemicals like parabens can interfere with the body's hormones, especially reproductive hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Health risks include chronic diseases, cancer, and a variety of reproductive disorders.

In animal studies, some parabens have been shown to act against male hormones and disrupt the development of male and female reproductive organs. It causes various effects such as reduced sperm count, endometritis, and insulin resistance.

Additionally, according to the results of a large-scale surveillance study conducted on most Americans regularly exposed to chemicals by the "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" showed that parabens and chemicals created by metabolism were present in the urine of nearly everyone tested.

...To premature aging

According to Cosmeticsinfo.org, data shows that methyl, propyl, and butyl parabens all have endocrine-disrupting effects.

Specifically, parabens are the culprits that disrupt hormones stored in body tissues, hindering the activity of endocrine glands in hormone production. Furthermore, these preservatives are also related to infants and children, causing developmental disorders, immune system dysfunction, memory disorders and later fertility.

Several studies have shown that the number of products a woman uses correlates with the amount of chemicals found in her urine. Of all the products used, the most commonly used are creams, cosmetics, hair gels and perfumes, and are also found in sunscreens, hair dyes, nail polishes and deodorants.

While the majority of commercial products containing parabens are beauty products that are supposed to enhance skin protection, such as moisturizers, research has found that they actually accelerate skin aging.

According to a report by live-naturally.co.uk, researchers from Japan's Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine found that methyl parabens increase skin sensitivity to sun damage, which means that when exposed to UV rays, skin cells die at a much faster rate than normal.
