Technical Information
Salus™ H-55 is a 55% active DMDM hydantoin preservative for maintaining the integrity, functionality, performance and appearance of cosmetic, personal care and hygiene products by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. Peer-reviewed studies show that formaldehyde exposure from consumer products, for example cosmetics that are preserved with Salus H-55 DMDM Hydantoin, is negligible, and contributes little additional exposure to formaldehyde above those levels commonly found in household air from other sources such as furniture, carpets and fruit.
