Overview of Methylparaben IP

Methylparaben IP is a widely used preservative that helps protect products from the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast. The “IP” grade means it complies with Indian Pharmacopoeia standards, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications.

It is chemically known as methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and has the CAS number 99-76-3. Methylparaben IP appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with good stability and effectiveness at low concentrations. It is commonly used alone or in combination with other parabens to provide broad-spectrum preservation.

Methylparaben IP is often formulated together with Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Phenoxyethanol to enhance antimicrobial protection and product shelf life.
