Sodium Methyl Paraben

Sodium Methyl Paraben

Sodium Methylparaben is the sodium salt form of Methylparaben, an extremely versatile oleochemical with a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications. Sodium Paraben can be found in blueberries and other fruits. Paraben Salts exhibit the same antimicrobial activity as regular parabens, meaning they are capable of preventing the formation of harmful bacteria. Other names for Sodium Methylparaben include Benzoic Acid, 4-Hydroxy-, Methyl Ester and Sodium Methyl Hydroxybenzoate.

Along with Sodium Propyl Hydroxybenzoate, another commonly used paraben product, Sodium Methyl Paraben contains a number of beneficial properties. Sodium Propyl Paraben and Sodium Methyl Paraben solubility is perhaps their most notable quality. They are characterized by their high solubility in cold water and are extremely effective preservatives in hair styling gels, hair care products and oral care products. Sodium Methylparaben is a white crystalline that is either odorless or virtually odorless. It is also hygroscopic, which means it has the ability to absorb moisture from the atmosphere.

Sodium Methyl Hydroxybenzoate is regarded as safe to use, which is an extremely important consideration in the manufacturing of personal care products. Studies on animals have determined that it is virtually nontoxic when ingested orally and will not irritate the skin during topical applications. Additionally, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review indicates that Sodium Methylparabens and other Paraben products are safe for use at levels of up to 25 percent. The typical level in most manufacturing applications is from .01 to .3 percent.
