Overview

Butylparaben, also known as butyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound commonly used as an antimicrobial preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It is a colorless, odorless crystalline powder with the chemical formula C₁₁H₁₄O₃.

Uses

Butylparaben is widely used in over 20,000 cosmetic products including eye shadow, facial moisturizers, anti-aging creams, foundation, and sunscreen. It is also employed in pharmaceutical suspensions and as a flavoring additive in food. Its effectiveness against mold and yeast makes it a popular preservative.

Regulatory

Butylparaben is regulated by various international bodies. In the European Union, it is considered safe for use in cosmetics if the combined concentration of butylparaben and propylparaben does not exceed 0.19%. Denmark restricts its use in products for children under three years old. The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization have approved its use as a flavor additive in food.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of butylparaben levels is essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis. Our reference materials ensure precise and reliable measurements, aiding compliance with regulatory limits.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Butylparaben is generally considered to have low toxicity in humans. However, concerns have been raised about its potential endocrine-disrupting effects and its presence in breast cancer tissues. Studies have shown that it can enter the body through the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and skin.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Butylparaben has been detected in sewage and can potentially impact aquatic ecosystems. It is important to monitor its levels to prevent environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of butylparaben are essential to ensure safety. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during handling.
