Creams with parabens during pregnancy?

Question

Hello, I am 22 weeks pregnant and I just saw that a cream (personal brand moisturizer) that I have been using 1x a week maximum since the beginning on my face, my breasts or my belly contains parabens (methylparaben and propylpataben). Do you think this is a big deal? I have used it a maximum of 20 times I would say. Thank you, Okay, thanks!

Hello, thank you for your question! Parabens are used to prevent the growth of bacteria in many types of products Although this type of ingredient has been the target of more attention recently, there is not enough data to establish or not its safety during pregnancy If in doubt, I suggest avoiding the use of products that contain this ingredient.. I hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have! Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
