Due to its phenolic hydroxyl structure, it has stronger antibacterial properties than benzoic acid and sorbic acid.

The mechanism of action of methylparaben is to destroy the cell membrane of microorganisms, denature intracellular proteins, and inhibit the activity of respiratory and electron transport enzymes in microbial cells.
