DMDM Hydantoin Cosmetic Preservative Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dimethylol Dimethyl Hydantoin
- Glydant
- DMDMH
DMDM hydantoin is a liquid preservative ingredient used in professional cosmetic and personal-care formulation. Buyers may request it as DMDMH, dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin or Glydant, usually as a clear, water-soluble aqueous solution against a cosmetic-grade specification.
Commercial enquiries commonly distinguish standard cosmetic-grade solution from low-colour solution for clear or lightly coloured products. Because solution strength and quality limits can differ between producers, send your current specification or state the required appearance, pH and other acceptance criteria rather than relying on the name alone.
Formulators specify DMDM hydantoin in water-based shampoos, conditioners, body washes, liquid cleansers, creams, lotions, gels and selected colour cosmetics. Final suitability, compatibility and use level should be checked in the intended formulation.
Send the required grade or solution description, quantity, delivery location and document requirements with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

DMDM Hydantoin applications
Common questions about DMDM hydantoin
Is DMDMH the same as DMDM hydantoin?
Yes. DMDMH is the common abbreviation for DMDM hydantoin, while dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin is the expanded name and Glydant is a recognised trade name. State the name used in your specification when enquiring.
Which DMDM hydantoin solution grade should I request?
Commercial enquiries usually distinguish a standard cosmetic-grade aqueous solution from a low-colour solution for clear or lightly coloured products. Send the required appearance, pH and other acceptance criteria so the quotation can match your specification.
Which personal-care formulations use DMDM hydantoin?
It is specified for water-based shampoos, conditioners, body washes, liquid cleansers, creams, lotions, gels and selected colour cosmetics. Suitability and use level should be checked in the complete formulation.
Do DMDM hydantoin solution specifications vary?
Yes. Solution strength, colour and pH limits can differ between commercial products, so the product name alone is not enough for substitution. Provide your current specification or the limits that matter to your formulation.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Send the required grade or solution description, quantity, delivery location, preferred packing and any document requirements. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
