Paraben-free

Unity Cosmetics' products do not contain parabens.

Parabens are a cheap preservative that is added to many different products. Instead of parabens, we choose other preservatives that are more expensive, but with which there is no risk whatsoever. So we never use parabens as a preservative, we always look for ingredients that are reliable and give little or no chance of irritation.

You find it everywhere, in food, sweets and also in cosmetics. In the list of ingredients, you will often see words ending with 'paraben', for example, 'methylparaben' or 'butylparaben'. So then you know that it contains parabens. Almost every cosmetic brand uses parabens to make the products last longer. Especially liquid products such as eyeliner and mascara often contain parabens.

Although parabens are not banned, there has been discussion in recent years about the role of parabens in the development of breast cancer. Various studies have not come to an unequivocal conclusion regarding parabens; whether or not they are harmful cannot be said with certainty. But knowing that there are many discussions about it, Unity Cosmetics decided to be on the safe side and not use parabens.
