Chemical compound
Propylparaben is the n-propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It occurs as a natural substance found in many plants and some insects. Additionally, it can be manufactured synthetically for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and foods.[1] It is a member of the class of parabens and can be used as a preservative in many water-based cosmetics, such as creams, lotions, shampoos, and bath products.[2] As a food additive, it has an E number, which is E216.
Sodium propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, the sodium salt of Propyl Paraben, a compound with formula Na(C3H7(C6H4COO)O), is used similarly as a food additive and as an anti-fungal preservation agent. Its E number is E217.
In 2010, the European Union Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety stated that the use of butylparaben and Propyl Paraben as preservatives in finished cosmetic products as safe to the consumer, as long as the sum of their concentrations does not exceed 0.19%.[3]
