General Description

Nanoactiv DMDM(H) is the nano-optimized form of DMDM Hydantoin, a widely used preservative in personal care and cosmetic formulations. It works by slowly releasing formaldehyde, which acts as an antimicrobial agent, protecting products from bacterial and fungal contamination during storage and use.

Through nanotechnology, Nanoactiv DMDM(H) offers enhanced preservation efficiency at lower concentrations, improved compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients, and more stable dispersion in formulations. It is especially valuable in extending the shelf-life and safety of water-based products.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry

Nanoactiv DMDM(H) is commonly applied in:

  • Shampoos & conditioners – Protects against microbial contamination in aqueous formulations
  • Cleansers & body washes – Ensures long-lasting freshness and stability of liquid products
  • Creams, lotions & moisturizers – Prevents bacterial and fungal growth in emulsions
  • Hair styling products (gels, serums, sprays) – Maintains product integrity during repeated consumer use
  • Wet wipes & personal care towelettes – Extends usability by inhibiting microbial growth
  • Cosmetic formulations with high water content – Essential for ensuring product safety and longevity

Its nano-enhanced activity allows formulators to use lower dosages, minimizing potential irritation while maintaining strong antimicrobial efficacy.

Hazard Information

While Nanoactiv DMDM(H) is effective and widely used, some safety considerations apply:

  • Skin Sensitivity: May cause irritation or allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. Usage levels should strictly follow regulatory guidelines.
  • Formaldehyde Release: As a formaldehyde donor, it has been subject to scrutiny; however, nano-dispersion allows for controlled and reduced release rates, enhancing safety.
  • Regulatory Restrictions: Permitted within specific concentration limits in the EU, US, and other global markets. Formulators must comply with region-specific guidelines.
  • Eye Contact: Direct contact may cause mild irritation; avoid use in products intended for eye area.
  • Environmental Impact: Biodegradable, but its formaldehyde-releasing nature requires responsible use to minimize ecological effects.

Overall, Nanoactiv DMDM(H) is a highly effective preservative system, ensuring product safety and long-lasting microbial protection when used responsibly within regulatory limits.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

NanoActiv DMDM(H) is a nano-engineered version of DMDM Hydantoin, retaining its preservative efficacy while offering enhanced dispersion, integration, and stability in modern personal care formulations.

DMDM Hydantoin—also known by its IUPAC name 1,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione—is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative widely used in shampoos, conditioners, skincare, and makeup to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi.

NanoActiv DMDM(H) enhances DMDM Hydantoin's key benefits—broad-spectrum preservation and antimicrobial action—by leveraging nano-scale particle design for:

  • Superior formulation clarity and smoother texture
  • Better dispersion and uniform integration
  • Potentially improved efficacy at similar usage levels
  • Enhanced antimicrobial performance with uniform distribution
  • Improved stability and compatibility in emulsions and leave-on products
  • Refined sensory feel without compromising preservation efficacy

Ideal for:

  • Rinse-off products like shampoos, body washes, and cleansers
  • Leave-on products such as lotions, creams, makeup, and serums
  • Any formulation requiring robust preservation with smooth sensory qualities

INCI Name: DMDM Hydantoin

NanoActiv DMDM(H) uses the same INCI designation to ensure regulatory compliance, with “nano-formulated” noted in technical materials where transparency is required.

Yes—when used within regulated limits. DMDM Hydantoin is generally recognized as safe up to around 0.074% in final formulation according to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
Healthline. The EU permits up to 0.6% concentration. Nano-formatting doesn't alter safety when properly encapsulated and tested.

While DMDM Hydantoin is safe within regulated levels, it can release small amounts of formaldehyde, which may cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The nano version should undergo appropriate safety, stability, and allergenicity testing—especially for leave-on applications.

Add NanoActiv DMDM(H) during the final cooling or aqueous blending phase, ensuring gentle mixing for even dispersion. Recommended usage levels mirror conventional DMDM Hydantoin: typically between 0.2% and 0.6%, depending on product type and regulatory constraints. Always conduct efficacy and stability testing for verification.

NanoActiv DMDM(H) is especially suitable for:

  • Formulations that demand refined texture and visual clarity
  • Brands seeking efficient preservation with modern aesthetic appeal
  • Sensitive skin lines where controlled release may reduce irritation potential (though patch testing remains essential)
