All
MyChelle Dermaceutical products are PARABEN FREE!
Why
is this important?
Recent scientific data reveals that parabens, preservative
chemicals found in most body care products, accumulate in the tissues
of the body over time, potentially causing harm. In fact, parabens
can be so persistent in living tissues that offspring exposed to
their deleterious influences have an increased risk of reproductive
abnormalities. Recent evidence further indicates that topical parabens
have been detected in human breast tumors. This is of great concern
as parabens have been shown to mimic the action of the female hormone
estrogen, which can encourage the growth of human breast tumors.
The effects of parabens on the male reproductive system are also
currently being studied. On a less serious note, some people have
a paraben mix allergy, resulting in a flare-up of a rash, or the
spread of an existing treated rash. Paraben allergic hypersensitivity
is not uncommon. Yet, manufacturers using parabens claim that
the small amounts present in their formulas do not present a danger
to the consumer. We disagree, and that’s why all
MyChelle products are paraben free. Look closely at the ingredients
in your skin care items, creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners,
hairsprays, cosmetics, and even toothpastes and you will most likely
discover at least one form of paraben listed. Watch out
for methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl parabens. To
add insult to possible injury, due to the laxity of our current
regulatory structure, most skin care companies choose to list only
two, when in fact they may contain four parabens.
In addition to providing
safe, non-toxic skin care, MyChelle Dermaceuticals offers therapeutic,
active ingredients to boost the skin’s own immune system and
the production of youth-enhancing ingredients, such as hyaluronic
acid and collagen. The term “dermaceutical” is synonymous
with active, science-based skin care that provides a visible difference.
Our products also offer an array of natural fruit pulps, extracts
and antioxidants to rejuvenate aging skin on a cellular level.
Our
founder, Myra Michelle Eby, is an outspoken advocate
of safe, effective, natural skin care. She wants only the very
best for herself, her child, and her customers. She believes
that an educated consumer is a healthier one, which is why she encourages
everyone to read ingredient labels.
