Butylparaben（Cat No.:I005605）is a commonly used preservative in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care products. It is a member of the paraben family, known for its antimicrobial properties, which help prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold. By extending the shelf life of formulations, butylparaben ensures product safety and stability. In pharmaceuticals, it is used in ointments, creams, and lotions. However, due to concerns over its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, its usage is increasingly scrutinized, and alternatives are being explored for safer formulations.
