About Butylparaben

Butylparaben is an ester of butyl alcohol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid.[1] The properties and feel of finished products containing Butylparaben may vary depending on the concentration, the ingredients used with it, the formulation’s acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to keep the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming too pronounced and to inhibit microbial growth in the product, slowing deterioration during storage.[2]
