Methyl Paraben

Methyl Paraben is a colorless crystalline substance and is one of the most widely used and trusted Antimicrobial Preservatives in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is highly effective against a broad spectrum of molds, yeasts, and some bacteria. Methyl Paraben extends the shelf life of products by preventing microbial growth and is preferred in formulations due to its chemical stability, ease of integration into various dosage forms, and compatibility across a wide pH range.

The product conforms to the specified requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
A detailed CoA is issued with every batch, outlining potency, purity profile, and microbiological testing verification.
A comprehensive Drug Master File is available to support registration submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide.
Production takes place in certified facilities that strictly adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
