Parabens

Parabens are especially effective in preventing growth of gram-negative bacteria and are commonly used as preservatives in personal care items. Parabens rarely cause allergic reactions and are not only the most commonly used preservatives in cosmetics but also can be found in pharmaceuticals and foods.

Unfortunately, skin cells continually exposed to parabens gradually deteriorate and accelerate skin aging.

FANCL has based their sucess on eliminating the need for preservatives, by processing our materials in sterile clean-rooms. Our products come with a freshness guarantee, which is why our products have a freshness date.
