Butylparaben, with the CAS number 94-26-8, is an organic compound belonging to the paraben family, which are widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It is a colorless to white crystalline solid that is soluble in alcohol and oils but has limited solubility in water. Butylparaben is known for its antimicrobial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, which helps extend the shelf life of products. Its chemical structure features a butyl group attached to a para-hydroxybenzoic acid moiety, contributing to its effectiveness as a preservative. While generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, there has been ongoing debate regarding its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny in some regions. Butylparaben is typically used in conjunction with other parabens to enhance preservative efficacy and is often found in lotions, shampoos, and various personal care items. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and awareness of potential sensitivities are recommended.
