After buying this I decided to look into the ingredients (which took forever to hunt down, mind you). It appears to be paraben city which I am okay with in small quantities but this had such a long ingredient list that I'm having trouble overcoming. The product itself is nice and I would say it works best as a highlighter. There is a lot of product in this bottle and I'm imagining it will last quite awhile considering how many preservatives are in it so I guess it's kinda one of the situations with pros and cons.
