What we know for sure is paragons can cause allergy. The rest is part speculative part true. Seems like most manufactures of skincare products are distancing themselves from this product.

Unless you have a known sensitivity to parabens, they are not considered harmful.
Parabens are no longer used in sunscreen because of possible allergic reaction.
Simple answer: Nope. If you're not allergic (and most people aren't) parabens are a good preservative for those products.
