DESCRIPTION:
DMDM Hydantoin (99%) acts as a preservative. It is an effective antimicrobial agent for cosmetics, highly efficacious against gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria and molds. It is stable and active in the pH range 3-9. It is compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic ingredients. For the high water solubility, it is particularly suggested in aqueous systems and emulsions. Used in hair care (shampoos, conditioners, gels, mousses), body and face care (toners, gels, lotions, creams, wipes), make-up (foundations, eyeliners, mascaras, powders, wipes), sun products (sunscreens, suntans, aftersuns), bath products (shower gels, bubble baths, handcleaners, intimate, wipes, baby care (shampoos, bath products, gels, lotions, creams, powders, wipes) and raw materials (surfactants).
