I’m sorry you’re allergic to parabens. I’m not sure if you can find it in South Africa but Korres Provitamin B5 and Rice Bran mascara doesn’t contain parabens. Hope this helps

I am based in South Africa, I am allergic to Parabens, where can I find a mascara that is Parabens free in SA.

I hope you can help.

You’re right, parabens can cause problems with inflamed skin, such as eczema or dermatitis, so if you suffer from these problems you should definitely use parabens-free products. Exederm seems a good choice, although I have never tried any of their products.

However, parabens don’t usually cause any problems to normal skin, but they seem to get a bad name because they are synthetic and not natural.

Parabens may be safe, but, its still an irritating preservative to many with very sensitive skin such as eczema or dermatitis.

To avoid the itch alone its worth switching.

One brand specifically designed for eczema and dermatitis sufferers is called exederm they also discuss the paraben issue
