Limitations of PAMA containing moisturizers
ParabensSince parabens are rapidly absorbed and can build in the body, they are one of the most used preservatives. The most prevalent allergens are butyl paraben, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, and ethyl paraben, which were discovered in 61.6% of the moisturizers tested [4]. Contact dermatitis caused by parabens results in rash, pimples, dry, and scaly skin. Furthermore, parabens have been linked to the development of persistent dermatitis, which raises the likelihood of sensitivity to topical therapeutic drugs. Literature suggests that parabens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that might cause fitness and functional problems.The presence of unmetabolized form of parabens in human breast cancer tissue has sparked controversy concerning its hazardous potential [5].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
