?Methylparaben , its cas register number is 99-76-3. It also can be called Methyl paraben ; Methyl p-hydroxybenzoate ; 4-(Methoxycarbonyl)phenol ; 4-(Carbomethoxy)phenol ; Methyl Parasept ; Methyl Butex ; Methaben; Metaben ; Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate ; and 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester .?Methylparaben (CAS NO.99-76-3) is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract or through the skin. It is hydrolyzed to p-hydroxybenzoic acid and rapidly excreted without accumulation in the body. In a population with normal skin, methylparaben is practically non-irritating and non-sensitizing; however, allergic reactions to ingested parabens have been reported. It?can be found in many of the leading skin/face products. |
