Methylparaben, also known as Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, is a paraben with the chemical formula C8H8O3. It is used as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals as it is said to have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It is considered safe for use in low concentrations, but it may cause irritation or contact dermatitis in rare cases and for those who are allergic.
Ethylparaben is an ethyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with the chemical formula C9H10O3. It is used as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to it’s antimicrobial and antifungal properties. There are ongoing debates in regards to it’s safety as it relates to human consumption,
Propylparaben is a n-propyl ester with the chemical formula C10H12O3. It is used as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and personal care products due to it’s antimicrobial properties. Studies show that it absorbs through the skin and remains in the body, leading to the European Union banning it. California had banned it for use in food, but not in other uses.

HPLC Determination of EDTA, Phenoxyethanol and Methylparaben in Facial Cleanser on Newcrom BH
August 25, 2020
HPLC Method for EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid), Methylparaben, Methylparaben sodium, 2-Phenoxyethanol on Newcrom BH by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid), Methylparaben, Methylparaben sodium, 2-Phenoxyethanol.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a synthetic amino acid with the chemical formula C10H16N2O8. It is typically used in industry to sequester metal ions, which helps prevent change of colors in textiles and uneven bleaching in paper. Due to it being a chelator, it is also used to soften water during laundry, remove hydrogen sulfide from gas streams, as well as treat mercury and lead poisoning.
Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic compound with the chemical formula C8H10O2. It is said to have antimicrobial and preservative properties, leading to wide use of it in cosmetics, medicine, and biocides. It is considered safe in the US and Europe at limited concentrations.
Methylparaben, also known as Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, is a paraben with the chemical formula C8H8O3. It is used as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals as it is said to have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It is considered safe for use in low concentrations, but it may cause irritation or contact dermatitis in rare cases and for those who are allergic.

Separation of Methylparaben sodium on Newcrom R1 HPLC column
February 16, 2018
Methylparaben sodium can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.
Application Column
Newcrom R1
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
