The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment noted that care and cosmetic products contain substances harmful to health.

He added that among these harmful substances are paraben and paraffin, which are used as a preservative in care and beauty products, such as shampoo, shower gel, lipstick and creams.

The German Institute pointed out that parabens may cause an imbalance in the body's hormonal system, while suspicions are hovering over paraffin as a carcinogen, according to German news agency DPA.

These substances appear in cosmetic and cosmetic products under the name "methyl paraben", "ethyl paraben", "paraffinum liquid" or "mineral oil".
