Imidazolidinyl Urea（Cat No.:I003437）is a preservative commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products to prevent microbial growth and extend product shelf life. It works by slowly releasing formaldehyde, which inhibits bacteria, yeast, and mold, ensuring the safety and longevity of formulations. Due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, Imidazolidinyl Urea is often found in lotions, shampoos, and makeup products. In research, it is studied for its preservative efficacy, stability, and potential allergenic effects, providing insights into safer and more effective preservation methods in consumer products.
