Ethylparaben（Cat No.:I000757）is a widely used antimicrobial agent and preservative in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. It is a member of the paraben family, consisting of ester derivatives of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and is primarily employed to prevent microbial growth and extend product shelf life. Ethylparaben exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it effective in maintaining product integrity. Although generally regarded as safe in regulated concentrations, there are ongoing discussions about its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to its restricted use in certain applications.
