Expert Verdict
The hydroxybenzoate moiety will hydrolyse to release p-hydroxybenzoic acid — formulators should evaluate whether this triggers paraben-related regulatory scrutiny in target markets (EU paraben restrictions in Annex V apply to parabens themselves, not necessarily this ester, but safety assessors may flag it)
