Lets talk Parabens…
Parabens are preservatives that are used in hair products, particularly water based products to increase the shelf life of the product by preventing disease causing pathogens from growing in the products.

According to Cosmetics and Toiletries due to the high demand of hand sanitizer in response to the Corona Virus, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) of America hasn’t made it compulsory for manufacturers of alcohol based hand sanitizers or hand rubs to disclose the methods they use to manufacture these products or to prove that they are safe for use on ones hands. Second to that, the WHO method of making hand sanitizer includes hydrogen peroxide which is not safe to use on ones hands. In the South African context if the hand sanitizer is SABS approved the product is required to undergo a dermal irritation test as part of the approval process. With that said, SABS approval is not a requirement for one to sell hand sanitizers within the South African market. In light of such information can one trust that the hand sanitizer they’re using is actually safe to use on ones hands?
There seems to be no contention that effectively washing your hands with clean water and soap, which is an elementary good hygiene practice, is one of the best ways to combat the virus. In the instance where people don’t have access to clean running water and soap, then hand sanitizers are the alternative. With the hype that’s been created around hand sanitizers, common sense has gone out the window because even in instances where people have access to clean water and soap they’re still opting to use hand sanitizers. After the National State of Disaster was announced in South Africa, I saw instances where methylated spirits and Dettol antiseptic liquid were being used as hand sanitizers in some of the establishments. The reality is when one goes into the shop and gets their hands sanitized one doesn’t actually know whether what’s in the bottle is safe to use directly on ones hands.
With the current state of the hand sanitizer market, my recommendation would be for people to wear gloves when going into the shops and having the gloves sanitized rather than their bare hands. I’ve found that the standard gloves one uses for household chores like washing dishes are chemically resistant to hand sanitizers. When buying hand sanitizers for personal use, my view is opting for hand sanitizers, be it in the form of a liquid, or gel or wet wipes, that are 99.9% effective against germs and have been dermatologically tested to be safe to use on ones hands.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a
sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally
off topic but I had to tell someone!

I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.

hey there and thank you for your info –
I have definitely picked up anything new from right here.
I did however expertise several technical points using this web
site, as I experienced to reload the web site many times previous to I could get it
to load correctly. I had been wondering if your
web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will sometimes affect your placement in google and
can damage your high quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords.
Anyway I’m adding this RSS to my e-mail and
can look out for a lot more of your respective interesting
content. Make sure you update this again very soon.
Thanks for the feedback Beatris.
When someone writes an paragraph he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her brain that how a
user can know it. Thus that’s why this piece of writing is outstdanding.
Thanks!
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
