Description
Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate has antimicrobial characteristics and is used as preservative in pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics. It can be combined with other parabens like methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. The sodium salt provides improved solubility in water compared to standard ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate.
