Determining DMDM hydantoin in personal cleansing products
Article Abstract:
Research results indicate that it is possible to measure free formaldehyde and demethylol dimethylhydantoin in personal cleansing products by applying reverse-phase HPLC and post-column derivatization. Positive results were obtained for several prototype product formulations. Making the described technique useful as an analytical tool will require further development work, however.
