About

Dedm Hydantoin Dilaurate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

DEDM hydantoin dilaurate is the dilaurate ester of DEDM hydantoin (dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin, a formaldehyde-releasing preservative). The laurate esterification reduces the formaldehyde-releasing potential compared to the parent compound. No EU Annex restriction specific to this ingredient is listed in the input, and the lauric acid moiety is a common fatty acid. Used as a skin-conditioning agent in formulations.
