Sodium butylparaben

Description:
Sodium butylparaben, with the CAS number 36457-20-2, is a sodium salt of butylparaben, which is a member of the paraben family commonly used as a preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Sodium butylparaben is typically a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water, making it suitable for various formulations. Its chemical structure includes a butyl group attached to a para-hydroxybenzoic acid moiety, which contributes to its antimicrobial properties. While generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, there has been ongoing research regarding the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of parabens, leading to regulatory scrutiny. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly exploring alternative preservatives. Overall, sodium butylparaben is valued for its effectiveness and stability in preserving product integrity, although its use is subject to evolving safety assessments and consumer preferences.
