Methylparaben

Description :

Overview of Methylparaben

Methylparaben is a widely used paraben preservative known chemically as methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder or granule with low solubility in water but readily soluble in alcohol and other organic solvents. Methylparaben is prized for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, making it an essential preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. As a member of the paraben family, Methylparaben effectively inhibits the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria, helping to extend the shelf life of products while maintaining safety and efficacy. Due to its low toxicity and long history of safe use, Methylparaben remains one of the most popular preservatives globally.

A reliable preservative that works well alongside the cleansing properties of Myristamine Oxide.
