Name Butyl Paraben Description Butyl paraben is a type of paraben, a group of synthetic compounds commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and some food items. Considerations • Linked to Breast Cancer
Some studies suggest that parabens like butyl paraben, can contribute to hormone signaling that promotes the growth of certain types of breast cancer. Parabens have been found to accumulate in brest cancer tissue. • Endocrine Disruption
Several studies have linked parabens to endocrine/reproductive disorders. • Synonyms Butyl 4-hydroxybenzoate
