I've just come across your website and was interested to read the article on "My Search for the Paraben Replacement". Like many of you, I have concerns about these preservatives finding their way into my body, and the bodies of my children. I am not familiar with Avalon products but wondered if you had heard of Sense - the skin care line Usana Health Sciences manufactures. The entire line, which includes everything you would need to clean, tone and moisturise your face and body (including the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel), are 100% preservative/paraben free. At the same time, because of a patent-pending formula announced last year, the products have a shelf life of 2 years. These are not only the safest products I've come across, but work better than anything I've ever used. If anyone wants to contact me for more information, please feel free: mbouey@hotmail.com
