Men don’t want PARABENS in their skincare anymore!

Men are becoming more aware of parabens, which show up as preservatives in countless cosmetic and hygiene products.

The most commonly found parabens include: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben and other paraben-suffixed words in their ingredients.

If you look at the ingredient listing of your skincare products, you’ll find them in a number of combinations.

I truly don’t know if it’s possible to get away from parabens in our modern world and I have a feeling that unless you go 100 per cent organic on EVERYTHING you use on your skin … this simply won’t happen.

That said, it is possible to at least choose to buy products that don’t contain any and therefore reduce your exposure to parabens.

There’s a growing debate over the safety of these chemicals, including the question of increased estrogenic activity. A few years ago, a news report on French TV on parabens sent women into a frenzy because they were concerned about the health risk that had been hush-hush until recently.

Men are using more skincare products and therefore they are now reading labels a lot more (whether they buy them for themselves or whether you buy it for them).

Double Duty skincare for men from Organic Bath Co. is the answer for men who are looking to use paraben-free skincare products.

In keeping in the spirit that men like their skincare routine as simple as possible, Double Duty is a 1-2-3 step process: Cleanse-All, Moisturizer and Smooth Shave … which are all made with organic white tea and other gentle botanicals.

The line is quite amazingly priced at about $8 per product and we even found a few Web sites where the product was as low as $6.79. Alas, for now, we’ve only be able to spot the products in the U.S., but Canadian men can always order the products online.
