Why Choose Paraben-Free Products?

Parabens, also known as para-hydroxybenzoates, are esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid containing alkyl or benzyl groups. The most commonly used parabens include methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. In addition to their use in the pharmaceutical and food industries, parabens are widely used as preservatives in cosmetic and personal care products such as moisturizers, lotions, toothpaste, wet wipes, and soaps to extend product shelf life.

In recent years, parabens have been the subject of extensive scientific research regarding their potential effects on human health. Oral exposure to parabens may affect the immune system, while dermal exposure has been associated with skin irritation, eczema, itching, and allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Their potential role as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is also being investigated.

To verify whether cosmetic products comply with regulatory limits and to determine whether they contain parabens, Bilim Laboratory offers ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing for seven paraben compounds: Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, and Benzylparaben.
