DMDM Hydantoin

DMDM Hydantoin is a widely used cosmetic preservative that helps protect skincare, haircare, and personal care products from microbial contamination. It is a formaldehyde-releasing agent, effective at preventing the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds, ensuring your formulations remain safe and stable over time. Suitable for a wide range of cosmetic products, DMDM Hydantoin is favored in lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, and other water-based formulations.

Uses:

1. Preserving creams, lotions, and gels
2. Stabilizing shampoos and conditioners
3. Protecting serums and facial products from contamination
4. Ideal for personal care formulations requiring a long shelf life

How to Use:

• Add DMDM Hydantoin during the cooling phase of the formulation (typically below 40°C / 104°F)
• Recommended usage level: 0.2% – 0.6% of the total formulation
• Ensure thorough mixing for uniform distribution
