Benzyl-d7 Paraben

Benzyl-d7 Paraben is a deuterated form of the commonly used preservative Benzyl Paraben. It is an organic compound that is often found in many personal care products, such as lotions, shampoos, and cosmetics. It is used to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold, which can cause spoilage and degradation of these products. Benzyl-d7 Paraben works by inhibiting the activity of enzymes that are essential for the survival of microorganisms. It is a highly effective preservative that is widely used in the cosmetics industry due to its ability to extend the shelf life of products. It is also used as a fragrance ingredient due to its sweet, floral scent. The chemical formula of Benzyl-d7 Paraben is C14D7H11O3. It is a white powder that is soluble in alcohol and oil, but not in water. It has a melting point of 119-122°C and a boiling point of 302.5°C. Benzyl-d7 Paraben is considered to be safe for use in cosmetics by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). However, some studies have suggested that it may have estrogenic effects, meaning that it could potentially disrupt hormone balance in the body. As a result, there is ongoing research into the safety of Benzyl-d7 Paraben and its potential health effects.
