Abstract in brief

Parabens have been safely used for nearly 100 years in foods, medicines, and cosmetics due to their effective preservative qualities and quick metabolism, which gives them an excellent safety record.
In the last 15 years, parabens have come under scrutiny for potential hormonal effects and links to cancer, leading to bans or restrictions in some regions, despite evidence that certain types like methylparaben and ethylparaben have minimal hormonal activity.
Media scare campaigns have caused industries to replace parabens with other preservatives that can cause allergic reactions, and this review aims to provide a balanced overview of scientific research on their safety and metabolism.]
