Paraaminobenzoic acid

Other names: paba, pab, vitamin B10

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Paraaminobenzoic acid, also known as paba, pab or vitamin B10, is one of the organic compounds and is recognized as an essential part of the diet in some animals, but it also has its importance in the human body. It is part of the "film factor" that is required for the growth of certain microorganisms. However, vitamin B10 is not currently recognized as a vitamin for humans because it is not vital to the human body.

Nevertheless, paraaminobenzoic acid is used in a number of products. One of the most well-known uses of PABA is in sunscreens and other products for protecting the skin from the sun. Due to its antioxidant properties, it can absorb ultraviolet radiation and thus protect the skin from damage. Another use of PABA is in the food industry, where it is used as a food colouring agent. PABA is also used in the cosmetics industry as a component of skin creams and hair care products. It is also a component of some dietary supplements that are designed to boost the immune system, improve digestion, or promote healthy skin and hair.
