Manufacturers are catching on that smart consumers are actually reading their labels now and actively avoiding some ingredients. I often see labels with only MP or PP listed as an ingredient. Laziness, or trying to pull one over on consumers? MP = Methylparaben and PP = Propylparaben.
Other names for our Paraben friends are:
· Benzyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Methyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Ethyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Propyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Butyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Parahydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)
· Parahydroxybenzoate (p-hydroxybenzoate)
