Isnt that eye product an older formulation, named for SNBC former host, Katina Forte, been several years since she was there.

According to isomers.ca

What is it?
High potency gelee formula, targeting the eye contour area. Requested by Katina S., an ISOMERS skin care fan who wanted to combine her most effective key cosmetic actives into one formula.

Thanks, Lyn, I could have sworn Isomers made a special eye product for Katina, the ex host a few years ago, guess I was just confused, for a change!!!

Parabens are are proven to be very effective preservatives. Perhaps Isomers chooses them for that reason when it comes to a product used around the eyes? Because I notice they're not in any of the other three products.

It could be. I am not sure why they use parabens in this one eye product. I use their fast lift eye serum and it doesn't have parabens. I also tried their vitamin c eye serum and it is paraben free. I prefer to avoid parabens but it is not an altogether deal breaker for me.

Manuela tries to avoid using them, knowing so many of her customers are fussy about it, but she herself believes they are totally harmless, and very useful when necessary to preserve the efficacy of a formulation. Linda Marshall feels the same way.

No temptation here. I don't care for the C - stem cleanser.

I share their opinion, based on the credible sources I've read.

In a way I think it's sort of sad that she feels she needs to avoid using what she considers to be a safe and effective ingredient, but I applaud her for being honest about it. Many companies will pander -- I hear them often (today, as a matter of fact Wink ) refer to parabens as being nasty or yucky. Same with several other ingredients.

I know that Paula B also does not see them as harmful. Manuela also uses parabens in their sunscreen which I have used in the past. In fact, I have an unopened bottle I will use this summer for my body. I don't like it under makeup. Like I said it is not a deal breaker for me. I do trust Manuela and her formulations.

I don't like the cleanser either and already have some of the moisturizer but would like to try to other products in the kit. Wish she had put a different cleanser in the kit.

I contacted Lori. Parabens are in the product. The description will be revised.

Who is Lori?
