When it comes to choosing the right skincare products, ingredients matter. At Alohilohi Skincare, we believe in crafting gentle, effective formulations that respect both your skin and the environment. That’s why our Foaming Facial Cleanser + Makeup Remover is completely paraben-free—but why does that matter?
What Are Parabens?
Parabens are a type of preservative used in many skincare and cosmetic products to prevent bacteria and mold from growing. You’ll often see them listed as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, or butylparaben on ingredient labels.
Why Are Parabens a Concern?
While parabens have been widely used for decades, research has raised concerns about their potential health and environmental impact:
1. Parabens & Hormone Disruption
Parabens are known as endocrine disruptors, meaning they can mimic estrogen in the body. Some studies suggest this could contribute to hormonal imbalances and may be linked to certain health risks, though more research is still needed.
2. Potential Skin Sensitivities
For people with sensitive or reactive skin, parabens can trigger irritation, redness, or allergic reactions. If you have eczema, rosacea, or dry skin, avoiding parabens may help reduce flare-ups.
3. Environmental Impact
Parabens don’t just affect our skin—they wash down the drain and enter waterways, where they have been found in marine life and coral reefs. Since ʻĀlohilohi Skincare is committed to reef-safe formulations, we ensure our products are free from harmful preservatives like parabens.

Our ʻĀlohilohi Foaming Facial Cleanser + Makeup Remover is carefully formulated to be gentle yet effective—removing makeup, excess oil, and impurities without compromising your skin’s health. Instead of parabens, we use safer, skin-friendly alternatives to keep your cleanser fresh and effective.
