1/ Introduction
Parabens are a group of common preservatives used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods, including methyl paraben, propyl paraben, sodium methyl paraben, and sodium propyl paraben. These excipients possess antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to prevent product spoilage during storage. Due to their high safety and effectiveness at low concentrations, parabens are widely used in various pharmaceutical dosage forms.
2/ Key Advantages
- Broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity, effective against various Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
- Effective at low concentrations (0.05–0.2%), helping to reduce cost and minimize the risk of toxicity or irritation.
- High chemical and physical stability; resistant to degradation within pH 4–8, non-volatile, and stable at room temperature, maintaining antimicrobial activity over time → enhances product stability and shelf life.
- Good compatibility with a wide range of excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
- High safety profile: low toxicity, minimal irritation, non-accumulative in the body at normal usage levels, and recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA.
- High formulation flexibility, can be used individually or in combination across various pharmaceutical dosage forms.
