Comment on Fact-check Friday: What’s the deal with parabens in cosmetics? by M.W https://labmuffin.com/fact-check-friday-whats-the-deal-with-parabens-in-cosmetics/#comment-293566 Mon, 27 Nov 2023 09:02:25 +0000 https://labmuffin.com/2014/03/fact-check-friday-whats-the-deal-with-parabens-in-cosmetics/#comment-293566 I miss parabens in my sunscreens, as the preservative.

This same podcast did an episode on acne a while back and claimed there is no proof that salicylic acid helps acne, which I found this a bit dubious. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
