parabens
Synthetic antimicrobial additives
Parabens are chemical preservatives used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and some foods to prevent bacterial and fungal growth.
Common types include methylparaben and propylparaben.
They became controversial when studies suggested possible hormone-disrupting effects, leading many products to advertise as paraben-free, though regulatory agencies generally consider them safe at typical concentrations.
