DMDM HYDANTION

About DMDM HYDANTION

DMDM hydantoin is a preservative and antimicrobial agent found in a wide range of cosmetics and skin-care and hair-care products. It's considered a formaldehyde donor. That means it releases a small amount of formaldehyde over time to help keep products fresh and free from contaminants.

You can find DMDM hydantoin in:

• Makeups
• Makeup removers
• Shampoos
• Conditioners
• Hair styling products
• Moisturizers
• Liquid hand soaps
• Facial cleansers
• Exfoliants or scrubs
• 
  

Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives like DMDM hydantoin help keep beauty products from spoiling. While formaldehyde-releasing ingredients can be dangerous in high levels, these chemicals are found naturally in safe, small amounts in many foods.
