Step 1
Check the label of your current moisturizer. Look for any ingredients like propylparaben, ethylparaben and butylparaben, which are commonly used parabens. Check the Internet or check with the FDA for other paraben names.
-
Step 2
Go online and search for paraben-free moisturizers. Usually, if a product is paraben-free the manufacturer will say so, but check the ingredients list and product description just in case.
-
Step 3
Read product reviews from other customers before you buy to find the right moisturizer for you. Consider emailing or writing to the manufacturers of several paraben-free moisturizers and requesting a free sample of each before you choose one.
-
Step 4
Stop by your local Whole Foods or health food store to find paraben-free moisturizer. Most will have a body care section with a decent selection. Or, check with your local drugstore or department store and ask about paraben-free options. Bring a list of paraben names with you anyway and be ready to carefully read the labels to make sure that you are investing in the right product.
-
Step 5
Try different paraben-free moisturizers until you find the right one for your skin. Look for paraben-free body lotions with lots of shea butter and paraben-free facial moisturizers with sunscreen built right in.

on 6/6/2009 You might want to check out www.BodySenseShop.com. They have products from a lot of manufacturers and each product has the best safety ranking by the Environmental Working Group's cosmetic database. I believe that none of their products contain parabens

on 5/27/2008 Consumers are wise to avoid potentially hazardous ingredients such as parabens. But they also want skin care that nourishes their skin to keep it soft, healthy and radiant. I found a product that gives you all of that and more at http://GoodSugars.net/SkinCare.
