The present study reports the development and application of an HPLC-UV method for the simultaneous separation and determination of five paraben preservatives (methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, n-butyl- and iso-butyl-paraben) in real samples. All analytes were separated efficiently in less than 20 min using a simple H(2)O:ACN linear gradient and a short monolithic column (50 mm x 4.6mm i.d.) at a flow rate of 3.0mL min(-1). Phenoxyethanol was used as chromatographic internal standard. The method was validated for linearity, limits of detection and quantification, accuracy and precision. Human saliva and toothpaste samples were analyzed after SPE pretreatment on Licrolut RP-18 cartridges. The detection limits varied between 0.1 and 0.3 mg L(-1) in all cases and the percent recoveries between 86 and 113%.

With the rise of the clean beauty trend in the cosmetics and personal care industry, consumers' interest in cosmetic ingredients, especially preservatives, continues to grow. Paraben, previously the most used preservative in cosmetics, has been excluded from many products owing to its potential risks. Therefore, a movement to lower the content of various preservatives is ongoing.

Background: The buildup of methylparaben (MP), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative with endocrine-disrupting properties, in environmental sources, especially aquatic systems, has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects, including allergic reactions, promoting the risk of developing cancer, and inducing reproductive disorders. Hence, introducing inexpensive and easy-to-use monitoring devices for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection and quantification of MP is highly desirable. In this context, electrochemical platforms have proven to be attractive options due to their remarkable features, such as ease of fabrication and use, short response time, and acceptable sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by topical application of neomycin is frequently reported.
Objectives: This multi-center study investigated prevalence and determinants of neomycin sensitisations in 30 629 outpatients from North-eastern Italy during 1997-2021.
Patients And Methods: European baseline and extended Triveneto series were applied on the upper back of patients patch testing for suspected ACD and removed after 48 h.

Methylparaben (MP) belongs to the paraben class and is widely used as a preservative in personal care products, medicines, and some foods. MP acts as an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. However, the effects of MP have not yet been completely elucidated, as published results are scarce and controversial.

Due to their antibacterial and antifungal properties, parabens are commonly used as biocides and preservatives in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Parabens have been reported to exist in various water matrices at low concentrations, which renders the need for sample preparation before their quantification using analytical techniques. Thus, sample preparation methods such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), rotating-disk sorptive extraction (RDSE), and vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (VA-DLLE) that are commonly used for parabens extraction and preconcentration have been discussed.
