Do you shop for beauty products with Paraben

I have mixed emotions of having purchased my favorite matte powder foundation which costs around $8.75. It makes my skin looks flawless and shine-free no matter how hot it is in my country Philippines. What makes me sad is that when I double checked the ingredients at the back of the box it states that it contains Paraben. I am aware that Parabens are known to be cancerous or make hormonal imbalances. Some research has been linking it to breast cancer. Where do you purchase or shop your matte powder foundation and where you able to find a brand without Paraben? This is my second tried product but it both have Paraben. I hope you can enlighten me. I have huge ovarian cysts and I don't want to worsen my case. Thank you in advance.

I don't like shopping beauty products with parabens either. I have very sensitive skin and parabens contributed to making my acne worse years ago. Luckily I found some soaps and sunscreen without that ingredient. You just have to keep looking and keep reading the labels.

Hi joliefille! I also have sensitive skin. Too bad the matte foundation after 1 day of using it gave me a pimple :( . May I ask what brand is that? Or if it's not allowed to mention the brand here, can you PM me? Thank you in advance. Have a nice day!
