DMDM Hydantoin

Description:

DMDM Hydantoin, with the CAS number 6440-58-0, is a synthetic compound commonly used as a preservative in cosmetic and personal care products. It functions primarily as a formaldehyde-releasing agent, which helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of formulations. DMDM Hydantoin is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various aqueous formulations. It is often found in shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and other topical products. While effective as a preservative, it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, leading to some controversy regarding its safety. Regulatory bodies generally consider it safe for use in cosmetics at specified concentrations, but consumers are advised to check product labels if they have sensitivities. Overall, DMDM Hydantoin plays a crucial role in maintaining product integrity and safety in the cosmetic industry.

DMDM Hydantoin is a preservative that is used in the production of many products, including personal care products and pharmaceuticals. DMDM Hydantoin is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits microbial growth by interfering with the microorganism's cell membrane. This chemical also has a low toxicity to humans and other mammals. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in wastewater treatment plants and can be used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. It also has antibacterial properties against some strains of Staphylococcus aureus, such as methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). DMDM Hydantoin is often found in hair conditioners, shampoos, and other cosmetic products. It can be absorbed through the skin or ingested orally. Although it is not classified as carcinogenic, it may cause contact dermatitis or alopecia areata because of its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in animal studies.
