According to Lush stories on the company’s website, the brand produces both paraben-free products and products that have preservatives on the components list. In each category, you can find both types, so in case you prefer self-preserving beauty products, Lush has got your back.
One of Lush’s ambitions is to eliminate parabens and use only natural preservatives. However, looking at today’s production, they do use parabens. These are usually methylparaben, propylparaben, benzyl alcohol, or a chemical compound of phenoxyethanol/2-phenoxyethanol.
They emphasize that they use only half the amount of parabens allowed by the EU to limit disruption of the skin’s protective microflora.
