    If I'm not mistaken, I read the ingredient list on the Chamois Buttr at a store recently, and it did not have parabens in it. Maybe they've changed the formulation or there is something worse in it than parabens.

    Could be they have changed it. I have a couple of the little "sample" size. I do not have one with me but could have sworn that the ingredients have parabens in the listing. Or I misread. Will check again once I get home.

    The Burts Bees also sounds interesting...

    The last time I bought Chamois Butt'r (maybe two years ago), it had parabens. That's why I stopped. I couldn't find the ingredients on their own website, but here they are listed on TE (click the box for ingredients)

    Chamois Butt'r "Eurostyle" doesn't contain parabens, according to what some have posted here and the list on Performance's site, but it does contain EDTA, PEG-100 stearate, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate - all of which are questionable - as well as the "tingle" from witch hazel and menthol.

    I use Coconut Oil. If your house is cooler than 76 degrees it is a solid form. I just take a swipe of it with my finger out of the jar (a jar that I use only for this... not for cooking!) and lube up before a ride. It is gentle, chemical free, and does a great job.
