I love this line.
Not all of her products contain parabens, the olive and honey balm doesn't and neither do the pomades, just the ones that contain water. I read on another site that most paraben free products contain formaldehyde preservatives like DMDM Hydantoin, Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, Diazolidinyl urea or Imidazolidinyl urea which are actually worse.
Anyway, I'd rather have a preserved product than a product that will get funky or go moldy on me in a few weeks or that I have to stick in a refrigerator. Besides, most of the most raved about products on this site like stay soft fro, suave, elucence, garnier, neutrogena, redken, aveda, elasta qp, ORS, kenra, keracare, infusium, cantu ...ALL contain parabens as well as health store brands like back to nature, the body shop (this one suprised me), alba botanicals... and no one complains about them. Her amla and olive heavy cream for example is 99% natural which is not too shabby in my book and it's a good quality product.
