PROPYL PARABEN SODIUM

Propyl Paraben Sodium is the sodium salt form of propyl paraben. It is a white crystalline powder and is commonly used in cosmetics and food products as a preservative. It easily dissolves in water and in diluted ethanol, giving a clear solution that allows its use in liquid and semi-solid formulations, but it remains practically insoluble in fixed oils. The compound functions as an antimicrobial preservative. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds in pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations. By disrupting the growth of microorganisms, it preserves stability of the products and prolongs the shelf life of the formulations.
