I just called the Gillete Dry Idea 800 number and got a nice customer
service person who assured me that parabens are not in the Dry Idea
line. I see that the researchers have a way to go before they sort this
issue out but why
take a chance? Ironically, when I went to my health food store today to
check out "natural" deodorants I found that the Kiss my Face Liquid
Rock line they carry DOES have parabens...go figure...
