We can name Propylparaben in IUPAC nomenclature as propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. 

Propylparaben is the n-propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. 
Propylparaben occurs naturally in plants and some insects. 

However, Propylparaben can be manufactured synthetically to be used in the cosmetic industry, pharmaceutical industry, and food industry. 
This is because Propylparaben can act as a preservative for various products.

The Propylparaben compound has anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties and can be used in a variety of water-based cosmetics and personal-care products due to this property. 
Moreover, we can use Propylparaben as a food additive, and Propylparaben has the E number E216. 
In addition, Propylparaben is a standardized chemical allergen, and Propylparaben is important in allergenic testing.

Propylparaben, the n-propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, occurs as a natural substance found in many plants and some insects, although Propylparaben is manufactured synthetically for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foods. 
Propylparaben is one of the most commonly used preservatives in cosmetics since Propylparaben is stable in most pH levels.

Propylparaben is a paraben, which is a group of controversial preservatives that also includes butylparaben, isobutylparaben, methylparaben, and ethylparaben. 
All of these were at one time the most widely used group of preservatives used in cosmetics. 

Parabens were so popular because of their gentle, non-sensitizing, and highly effective profile in comparison to other preservatives but also because they were derived naturally from plants, a rare phenomenon for a preservative. 
Parabens are found in plants in the form of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), a chemical that breaks down to become parabens for a plants own protection.

Over the past 10 years parabens have become criticized and condemned for use in cosmetics due to their alleged relation to health concerns affecting women and men. 
The research about parabens is conflicting and polarizing. 

Some research indicates they are safe as used in cosmetics and are preferred over other preservatives to keep a formula stable. 
These studies also showed parabens did not have any effect when compared to natural hormones in the body.

However, other research has concluded they are indeed problematic: Some studies determined a 100% concentration of parabens caused skin samples (meaning not intact skin on a person) to break down. 
However, these studies don’t apply to the tiny amount (1% or less) of parabens typically used in cosmetics. 
In low amounts, parabens were not shown to harm skin; in fact, they offer a benefit due to their ability to thwart the growth of mold, fungi, and harmful pathogens.

Other studies casting parabens in a negative light were based on force-feeding them to rats, a practice that is not only cruel but unrelated to what happens when parabens are applied to skin. 
There are studies indicating absorption of parabens through skin associated with application of skin care products, but those studies did not take into consideration that parabens are still used as food-grade preservatives or found naturally in plants and that could have been the source not the cosmetics.

Propylparaben is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 100 to < 1 000 tonnes per annum.
Propylparaben is used by consumers, by professional workers (widespread uses) and in formulation or re-packing.

Propylparaben is a preservative used in skincare and cosmetic formulations.

Propylparaben is classed as a paraben, a group of preservatives with slightly different functions and anti-microbial activity based on their size. 
Other common parabens include methylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, and ethylparaben.

Propylparaben is used to extend the shelf-life of a product life by preventing microbial contamination. 
Microbial contamination can occur from exposure to bacteria and molds in the air and general use of Propylparaben from your hands. 

Preservatives like parabens are designed to reduce the likelihood that bacteria and molds can grow in your product. 
This is important for ensuring the safety of a product.

Propylparaben naturally occurs in some fruit and vegetable products, such as barley, flaxseed, and grapes. 
Parabens are found in plants in the form of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), a chemical that breaks down to become parabens to protect the plant. 

The parabens used in cosmetics are identical to those found in nature. 
If parabens are absorbed through the skin, the human body can quickly metabolize them to PHBA and eliminate them.

Parabens have up until recently been the most widely used group of preservatives in skincare and cosmetic products. 
Parabens were so popular because of their gentle, non-sensitizing, and highly effective in comparison to other preservatives.
However, the use of parabens is now controversial due to their alleged relation to health concerns.

Propylparaben is an antimicrobial preservative used in cosmetics and personal care. 
Parabens are the most commonly used preservatives in personal care products. 

They are non-irritating, have low toxicity levels, and are active against a wide spectrum of fungi and bacteria at low concentrations. 
In addition to meeting the NF standards of USP, our Propylparaben also complies with BP and PhEur requirements. 
Propylparaben is recommended for toothpaste, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, and eyeshadow.

Propylparaben, also known as propyl chemosept or propyl parasept, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as p-hydroxybenzoic acid alkyl esters. 
These are aromatic compounds containing a benzoic acid, which is esterified with an alkyl group and para-substituted with a hydroxyl group. 

Propylparaben is a sweet, burnt, and hawthorn tasting compound. 
Propylparaben is a potentially toxic compound. 
Propylparaben is an antimicrobial agent, preservative, flavouring agent.

Propylparaben is the benzoate ester that is the propyl ester of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. 
Preservative typically found in many water-based cosmetics, such as creams, lotions, shampoos and bath products. 

Propylparaben is also used as a food additive.
Propylparaben has a role as an antifungal agent and an antimicrobial agent. 

Propylparaben is a benzoate ester, a member of phenols and a paraben. 
Propylparaben is functionally related to a propan-1-ol and a 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.

Propylparaben is an antimicrobial agent, preservative, flavouring agent. 
Propylparaben belongs to the family of Hydroxybenzoic Acid Derivatives. 
These are compounds containing an hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxylic acid.

Propylparaben is a Standardized Chemical Allergen. 
The physiologic effect of propylparaben is by means of Increased Histamine Release, and Cell-mediated Immunity.

Propylparaben (Propyl parahydroxybenzoate) is an antimicrobial preservative which can be produced naturally by plants and bacteria. 
Propylparaben is prevalently used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and foods. 

Propylparaben disrupts antral follicle growth and steroidogenic function by altering the cell-cycle, apoptosis, and steroidogenesis pathways. 
Propylparaben also decreases sperm number and motile activity in rats.

Uses of Propylparaben:
Propylparaben has antifungal and antimicrobial properties and is typically used in a variety of water-based cosmetics and personal-care products.
Propylparaben is also used as a food additive, and is designated with E number E216. 
Propylparaben is also a Standardized Chemical Allergen and is used in allergenic testing.

Propylparaben is used as antimicrobial preservatives in pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and shampoos.
The parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) were the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics (0.1% to 0.8%) until their sensitizing potential was recognized.

Widespread uses by professional workers:
Propylparaben is used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products.
Other release to the environment of Propylparaben is likely to occur from: indoor use as processing aid.

Industry Uses:
Not Known or Reasonably Ascertainable

Consumer Uses:
Propylparaben is used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products and perfumes and fragrances.
Other release to the environment of Propylparaben is likely to occur from: indoor use as processing aid.

Other Consumer Uses:
Laboratory chemicals

Properties of Propylparaben:
Propylparaben is a fine white powder with a peculiar odor somewhat reminiscent of algae.
The purity is at least 98% and Propylparaben has a reasonably long shelf life.

Propylparaben is a widely used preservative in cosmetics, due to a combination of pleasant properties:
Propylparaben is very active against fungi and Gram positive bacteria
Propylparaben is, especially for a preservative, little harmful to the health of humans, animals and plants

Propylparaben usually breaks down easily and quickly in the environment
Propylparaben occurs naturally in various plants and animals and could therefore be called “natural”

Propylparaben is active in a fairly wide pH range, a pH of 5-6 is ideal, but 3-8 is also possible in many cases
Propylparaben has been used as a preservative in food, medicine and cosmetics for a century and is very well researched

Parabens do not always go well with highly ethoxylated substances such as polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 and to a lesser extent proylparaben becomes completely or partially inactive with, for example, lecithin and proteinaceous substances such as hyaluronic acid. 
Furthermore, propylparaben may work well against fungi, but Propylparaben does not or hardly work against Gram-negative bacteria in particular. 
Thus, an additional preservative is usually required.

Although rare, hypersensitivity to benzoic acid and related substances such as parabens does occur. 
In that case, also do not use sodium benzoate, benzoic acid and benzoin tincture. 
Incidentally, this hypersensitivity mainly affects damaged skin, a reaction is unusual on intact skin.

Paraben madness:
A disadvantage of a completely different nature is the fact that parabens received a lot bad press in recent decades. 
In addition to many nonsense stories, there is also a more serious concern. 

Parabens were found to have the potential to disrupt hormones in laboratory research. 
For this reason, a lot of additional research has been done. 

For the time being, Propylparaben seems that Propylparaben does not act as a hormone disruptor in mammals, but not all studies have yet been completed.
Because parabens have been used in food and cosmetics for more than a century, we know that there is no obvious great danger in the use of this group of substances, but Propylparaben would be nice if we could also exclude the possible hormone disruption completely.

Manufacturing Methods of Propylparaben:
Produced by esterifying p-hydroxybenzoic acid with n-propanol, using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid and an excess of propanol. 
Propylparabens are heated in a glass-lined reactor under reflux. 

The acid is then neutralized with caustic soda and Propylparaben is crystallized by cooling. 
The crystallized product is centrifuged, washed, dried under vacuum, milled and blended, all in corrosion-resistant equipment to avoid metallic contamination.

Propylparaben is produced by the n-propanol esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid, with subsequent distillation.

Parabens are prepared by esterifying PHBA parahydroxybenzoic acid with the corresponding alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, and an excess of the specific alcohol. 
The acid is then neutralized with caustic soda, and Propylparaben is crystallized by cooling, centrifuged, washed, dried under vacuum, milled, and blended. 

Clinical Laboratory Methods of Propylparaben:
Bisphenol A (BPA), benzophenones and parabens are commonly used in the production of polycarbonate plastics, as UV-filters and as antimicrobial preservatives, respectively, and they are thought to exhibit endocrine disrupting properties. 
Exposure to these compounds remains poorly characterized in developing countries, despite the fact that certain behaviors related to westernization have the potential to influence exposure. 

The aim of this pilot study was to measure urinary concentrations of BPA, six different benzophenones and four parabens in 34 Tunisian women. 
In addition, we identified some socio-demographic and dietary predictors of exposure to these compounds. 

Chemical analyses were carried out by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (UHPLC-MS/MS). 
Detection frequencies of methylparaben (MP), ethylparaben (EP) and propylparaben (PP) ranged between 67.6 and 94.1%. Butylparaben (BP) was found in 38.2% of the analyzed samples; BPA in 64.7%; and benzophenone-1 (BP-1) and benzophenone-3 (BP-3) were detected in 91.2 and 64.7% of the analyzed samples, respectively. 

Urinary geometric mean concentrations of MP, EP, PP, and BP were 30.1, 1.4, 2.0 and 0.5 ng/L, respectively. 
Geometric mean concentrations of BPA, BP-1, and BP-3 were 0.4, 1.3 and 1.1 ng/L, respectively. 

Our results suggest that Tunisian women are widely exposed to BPA, parabens and some benzophenones. 
Further studies on the general Tunisian population are needed in order to assess the levels of exposure to these compounds and to identify sources of exposure and population groups at higher risk.

Parabens are the most widely used preservative and are considered to be relatively safe compounds. 
However, studies have demonstrated that they may have estrogenic activity, and there is ongoing debate regarding the safety and potential cancer risk of using products containing these compounds. In the present work, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied to determine methylparaben and propylparabenconcentrations in serum, and the results were correlated with lipstick application. 

Samples were analyzed using liquid-liquid extraction, followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. 
The validation results demonstrated the linearity of the method over a range of 1-20 ng/mL, in addition to the method's precision and accuracy. 
A statistically significant difference was demonstrated between serum parabens in women who used lipstick containing these substances compared with those not using this cosmetic (p = 0.0005 and 0.0016, respectively), and a strong association was observed between serum parabens and lipstick use (Spearman correlation = 0.7202).

Two rugged liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods for the determination of propylparaben, Propylparaben is major metabolite, p-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA), and their sulfate conjugates have been developed and validated in citric acid-treated rat plasma. 
To prevent propylparaben being hydrolyzed to pHBA ex vivo, rat plasma was first treated with citric acid; then collected and processed at a reduced temperature (ice bath). 

Stable isotope labeled internal standards, d4-propylparaben, (13)C6-pHBA, and the d4-labeled internal standards of their sulfate conjugates were used in the methods. 
The analytes were extracted from the matrix using protein precipitation, followed by chromatographic separation on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column. 

Quantification using negative ion electrospray was performed on a Sciex API 4000 mass spectrometer. 
The analytical ranges were established from 2.00 to 200 ng/mL for propylparaben, 50.0-5000 ng/mL for pHBA, 50.0-10,000 ng/mL for the sulfate conjugate of propylparaben (SPP) and 200-40,000 ng/mL for the sulfate conjugate of pHBA (SHBA). 

Inter- and intra-run precision for the quality control samples were less than 5.3% and 4.4% for all analytes; and the overall accuracy was within +/-5.7% of the nominal values. 
The validated bioanalytical methods demonstrated excellent sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision and were successfully applied to a rat toxicology study under the regulations of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). 
Strategies have been developed and applied toward overcoming the challenges related to analyte stability, and environmental and endogenous background.
