What is it?
Diazolidinyl urea is a preservative mainly used in cosmetics to protect them from bacteria, yeasts and molds. While preservatives rarely cause allergies and irritation, they are a way to keep our cosmetic and personal care products safe. Without them, products can spoil or become contaminated with bacteria.

It is mainly found in cosmetics.

How can I avoid it?
Skin contact with diazolidinyl urea is required to cause a rash. Stopping exposure to products containing diazolidinyl urea should improve and/or resolve your dermatitis. The most common cause of allergic contact dermatitis from diazolidinyl urea is cosmetics preserved with this chemical. By law, all topical products made in the United States have ingredients listed on the product packaging or box, so check the ingredient labels in your cosmetics. At work, ask for a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to help identify potential sources of exposure.

Some people who are allergic to formaldehyde are also sensitive to diazolidinyl urea because diazolidinyl urea releases small amounts of formaldehyde. Individuals sensitive to diazolidinyl urea may need to avoid storage with formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing agents such as:

DMDM Hydantoin (Glydant)
imidazolidinyl urea (Germall)
2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,30diol (Bronopol)
Quaternium-15
Tris nitromethane (Tris Nitro) Tris Nitro is an industrial fungicide not normally found in skin, hair or cosmetics
