Ethylparaben
A paraben preservative used in small amounts to keep formulas free of microbial growth.
What it does
Ethylparaben is a paraben preservative, close in structure to methylparaben. It is used at low levels, often blended with other parabens, to keep a product free of bacteria, mold, and yeast over its shelf life. It is a preservative rather than a skin active.
