Function:
Ethylparaben is a highly effective preservative. It works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and molds. Its preservative mechanism mainly involves interference with microbial cell membranes and intracellular enzyme systems.
Application:
It is a commonly used preservative in cosmetics and personal care products. It is widely used in various skin care products (such as creams, lotions, essences, etc.) and makeup products (such as lipsticks, eye shadows, etc.).
In pharmaceutical preparations, ethylparaben is used to prevent microbial contamination of drugs.
