Sodium ethylparaben (E215) is the soluble salt of E214, and it exists for the same reason every paraben has a sodium version: to work in a water phase. Same family, same place on this axis. A paraben carries no histamine. It is on this page because the pseudoallergen-free elimination diet removes the preservative esters as a family - a protocol to trial, not a measured amine load, and one that is unproven in double-blind trials.
