Occurrence of parabens in aquatic environments and sediments and efficiency of wastewater treatment plants in parabens removal [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Parabens are endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and their entry into the human body via water sources has adverse effects on human health. In the present study, the occurrence of methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben in three domestic,

Allergen Content of Inactive Ingredients in Best-Selling Sunscreens: A Comparison of Key Product Features. [PDF]

Contact Dermatitis
Allergenic risk of sunscreen active ingredients is well known, but that of inactive ingredients remains understudied. We identified and quantified allergens found in inactive ingredients of best‐selling sunscreens and developed a free tool (www.NAC80.com) that helps dermatologists recognise higher‐risk products and counsel patients prone to allergic or

Transcriptome analysis reveals differences in developmental neurotoxicity mechanism of methyl-, ethyl-, and propyl- parabens in zebrafish embryos

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Studies on the comparison of developmental (neuro) toxicity of parabens are currently limited, and unharmonized concentrations between phenotypic observations and transcriptome analysis hamper the understanding of their differential molecular mechanisms.

Tracking Down of a Selected Panel of Parabens: A Validated Method to Evaluate Their Occurrence in Skin Layers

Cosmetics, 2022
A method was set up and validated to identify and quantify seven parabens in each of the three skin layers, i.e., Stratum Corneum, Epidermis, and Dermis, because, even if only some analogues are legally allowed in Europe, forbidden parabens are also ...
