## Paraben 101

Parabens are preservatives that are used in many cosmetics products. Preservatives are very important; they keep your products safe and fresh. If not properly preserved, many cosmetic products are ideal conditions to grow bacteria and mold (yuck!). Parabens may sound weird, but they are a natural [ingredient](https://herbalessences.ca/en-ca/our-ingredients/) found in the fruits and vegetables you eat every day.


## Safety First

At Herbal Essences, [safety comes first](https://herbalessences.ca/en-ca/safety-comes-first/). Before any ingredient goes into our shampoos and conditioners, we assess its safety and toxicity. If we have any doubts about its potential to cause harm, we consider it a [“no-no”](https://herbalessences.ca/en-ca/the-no-no-no-list/) and don’t include it in our product formulas. With every preservative and ingredient, even if an ingredient is deemed safe, we work to determine a safe range for its use, backed up by science, to ensure your safety.

## Our Paraben-free Shampoo and Conditioners

Although parabens have been proven safe over decades of research, we understand some people prefer products without parabens, so we chose an alternative preservative. Our 90% natural origin ingredients include water and any ingredient unchanged from its natural state or which has undergone processing but still keeps more than 50% of its original structure. By combining active antioxidants with cutting-edge science, we strive to give you better hair care choices. With botanicals certified by The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and intoxicating fragrances, you are sure to find a paraben-free shampoo that’s right for you.
