Japanese Honeysuckle is the same as a paraben?

So it seems like there is some serious greenwashing going on here. After our video blog posted about a product line sold at Sephora that claims to be preservative free yet contains a preservative called Lonicera Caprifolium, we received a link to an article written at the "Organic Consumers Association", about this ingredient being chemically identical to a paraben. Holy cow. Thank you to Sue who sent this to us. We appreciate the info.
Hello hello- Sephora folks might want to research these products before including them in their natural section.

    Thanks for revealing the truth!
