Diazolidinyl Ureais safe for both leave-on and rinse-off products and provides effective protection at low concentration levels (0.1-0.3%). Diazolidinyl Urea is an excellent preservative for shampoos and hair conditioners, either alone or in combination with parabens. Diazolidinyl Urea in combination with parabens retains activity against yeast and mold even when paraben effectiveness has been diminished by interaction with nonionics or proteins, or migration into the oil phase. Diazolidinyl Urea is not inactivated by emulsifiers, proteins or other ingredients that affect other preservative materials.
