DMDMH Hydantoin, short for 1,3-Dimethylol-5,5-Dimethylhydantoin, is a widely used broad-spectrum preservative that is highly compatible with water-based cosmetic and personal care formulations. It usually appears as a colorless to pale yellow clear liquid with good solubility in water and excellent compatibility with most cosmetic ingredients such as surfactants, emulsifiers, and active substances. This preservative is stable over a wide pH range and works efficiently at low concentrations, making it a preferred choice for leave-on and rinse-off products. It is recognized as safe for use in cosmetics when applied in compliance with regulatory standards, and it does not easily cause discoloration or odor changes in the formulated products.

Key Efficacy

  1. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial protectionIt effectively inhibits the growth and reproduction of a variety of microorganisms, including gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and molds, which are common causes of cosmetic spoilage. This comprehensive antimicrobial action helps prevent product contamination during production, storage and use, thus extending the shelf life of cosmetics and personal care items.
  2. Stable performance in diverse formulationsIt maintains consistent preservative activity across a wide pH range, adapting well to different product systems from weakly acidic to weakly alkaline. It is not easily affected by factors such as temperature changes or light exposure, ensuring reliable protection for products under various storage conditions.
  3. Good formulation compatibilityIt blends seamlessly with most cosmetic raw materials, including plant extracts, vitamins, and various oils, without interfering with the texture, efficacy or sensory properties of the final products. It is suitable for a wide range of products such as facial cleansers, lotions, shampoos, body washes and makeup products.
  4. Mild and skin-friendly propertiesWhen used within the recommended concentration range, it shows low irritation potential to the skin and mucous membranes, making it suitable for formulations targeted at sensitive skin. It does not leave a sticky residue on the skin, thus maintaining the comfortable user experience of the product.
  5. Synergistic effect with other preservativesIt can be combined with other preservatives such as parabens or phenoxyethanol to form a synergistic antimicrobial system, which enhances the overall preservation effect and reduces the required dosage of individual preservatives, further improving the safety profile of the product.
