Many of LUSH's cream lotions and hair products contain parabens, which have been linked to breast cancer in several studies. They have been found in breast cancer cells, and are considered an endrocrine disruptor which can be a factor in the growth of breast tumors. They have also been shown to easily absorb through the skin, making them particularly questionable in lotion. As a company that is publicly committed to using only healthy, safe ingredients, I believe LUSH should not use parabens in any of their products.
