Product Details
Propyl Paraben USP Grade
Parabens are a group of preservative ingredients used in cosmetic, personal hygiene products, food products and pharmaceuticals.
They are highly effective in preventing the growth of fungi, bacteria and yeast that can cause products to spoil.
Thus, they contribute directly to the quality of the products by extending their shelf life, making them safe for the families who use them.
What are Parabens?
Parabens are derived from para-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA) that occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, cherries, carrots, blueberries and onions.
PHBA also is naturally formed in the human body by the breakdown of some amino acids.
Parabens used in cosmetics are identical to those found in nature, and the human body quickly changes them into natural PHBA and eliminates them.
Uses and Benefits
Propyl paraben is a preservative: a substance that is added to food and other products to keep them fresh for longer.
As microbes go to reproduce, propyl paraben prevents the cell wall from forming properly so the bacteria can’t close itself in. This means a second generation of microbes can’t form.
EU regulations state that 0.4% of a formula can be composed of methyl paraben and 0.19% made of propyl paraben.
Propyl paraben, the n-propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, occurs as a natural substance found in many plants and some insects, although it is manufactured synthetically for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foods.
It is a preservative typically found in many water-based cosmetics, such as creams, lotions, shampoos and bath products.
Sodium propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, the sodium salt of propylparaben, a compound with formula Na(C3H7(C6H4COO)O), is also used similarly as a food additive and as an anti-fungal preservation agent. Its E number is E217.
