No, it is the methyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
Sodium is ionic, meaning that sodium methylparaben has a polarity that methylparaben does not. Polar solutions will always be more soluble in other polar solutions (like water, for example) than in non-polar solutions.
some investigators identified a weak relishionship between methylparaben and breast cancer

I believe it is "methylparaben free"

It is used in cosmetics. It can cause hypersenstivity reactions.
Methylparaben is an antilfungal that is widely used as a preservative for food, drugs, and cosmetics. The compound is often found in carpules of local anaesthetic, acting as a bacteriostatic agent and preservative. Methylparaben (also called Nipigin M, Tegosept, and Mycocten) is commonly used as an anti-fungal agent in drosofilla food media. Usage of methylparaben is known to slow Drosophila growth rate in the larval and pupal stages. anything else?
methyl paraben as search it is a anti-microbial and a preservative
