Side Effects of Parabens
Many Cosmetics have negative and positive side effects to individuals, animals, society and the environment. Some negative effects of cosmetics on humans are they cause allergic reactions, organ system toxicity, and immune deficiency. Meanwhile, they have benefits such as reducing odors, and hide blemishes.

The Risks of Paraben:
Parabens have been found to have many risks to the human body. Because Parabens have been proven to penetrate the skin and can be traced in the blood minutes after application, it is theorized that they may have adverse effects on the body. It is also known that Parabens break down into formaldehyde; a substance that is said causes cancer. Parabens have displayed the ability to mimic estrogen which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. In addition, the estrogen-mimicking aspects of parabens have been linked to the increasing prevalence of early puberty in girls. All parabens have been proved to interfere with the function of the endocrine system. These disruptors have been linked to contributing reproductive and developmental disorders, learning problems and immune system dysfunction in children. These chemicals have potentially been washed down the drains entering the oceans that affect the aquatic organisms; and potentially re-entering our drinking water. Plants and soils have been affected by parabens due to water that contains this chemical.

Benefits of Paraben
Although the risks of this chemical are huge, Parabens have some benefits to humans, environments, and economy. The efficiency of Parabens as a preservative to prevent bacterial growth in many products explains why they are so commonplace. The low prices of parabens have been a benefit for companies because they are easier to create and use in their products. By using these parabens in their products, companies are able to make these products last longer on the shelves of stores; which means they do not need to waste the product. Parabens are beneficial to humans because they do not need to constantly throw out products because bacteria have grown in them, and they could use them longer. Technology has led to companies using small amounts of parabens in products so the effects on the environment are not as big.
