Beauty products are used by many people as a way to maintain self care such as make up, masks and face washes. Many of the beauty products have a darker side to them. Parabens is a chemical compound that is used in beauty products as preservatives. It was found that parabens cause and increase in estrogen. A study was conducted where 143 women were tested with a urine test. Even with a small exposure to parabens had an effect on hormone levels. The effect on the body is a gradual effect due to the long time for the chemical compounds to take an effect on the body.
A negative effect of the chemical compounds is the higher risk of developing breast cancer. The gradual increase in estrogen levels has a negative effect on the body. Yet there is not enough research being done to fully understand the nature of the situation.
