A cloud point extraction process using a silicone non‐ionic surfactant to extract selected parabens compounds from water samples was investigated using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. The cloud point extraction process, in the presence of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) as a modifier, is a new extraction process which was optimized with five parameters, i.e. salt concentration, pH of the solution, temperature, surfactant concentration and β‐CD concentration. The developed method with the β‐CD modifier results in an excellent performance on detection of parabens from water samples with limits of detection in the range of 0.017–0.043 μg/L and percentage recoveries from 90.5 to 98.9 %.
