So, what is diazolidinyl urea?

Diazolidinyl urea is a synthetic chemical compound commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products as a preservative to prevent bacterial growth. It works by releasing formaldehyde, which helps to kill bacteria and fungi, making it an effective ingredient in creams, lotions, and shampoos. Despite concerns about formaldehyde exposure, diazolidinyl urea is generally considered safe in low concentrations. However, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to this ingredient, so it is important to check product labels and consult with a healthcare professional if necessary.
