Methylparaben, ≥99.0% Purity, White Crystalline Powder for Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Use
Product Description:
Methylparaben is a high-purity organic preservative widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. With a purity of ≥99.0%, it appears as a white crystalline powder and features excellent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeast, and mold.

As a para-hydroxybenzoate ester, Methylparaben is valued for its stability, low toxicity, and long-lasting preservation effect. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, shampoos, ointments, and oral medicines to extend shelf life and ensure product safety. The product is stable under normal storage conditions and complies with international standards for cosmetic and pharmaceutical additives.
Our Methylparaben is manufactured under strict quality control systems and is available in cosmetic grade, pharmaceutical grade, or food grade upon request. Supporting documentation including COA, MSDS, and regulatory compliance (e.g., USP, BP, EP) is available.
