This is one of the preservatives used to be a potent antifungal. Hence, even used in the manufacture of building materials and furniture as it prevents and prevents mold and mildew. It is highly carcinogenic by inhalation.

In addition exposure to it can cause joint pain, headaches or chest and allergy, irritation and premature skin aging, damage to cell membranes and fetal malformations.

Its use is banned in cosmetics but as it is a very inexpensive and effective preservative industry has managed to create substances that can not be seen directly but that release formaldehyde.

How do you recognize?

In two ways. One is to look at the ingredients that are accompanied by the word urea and diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea or urea poliximetileno (not to be confused with the urea in the blood and is the result of protein metabolism).

The other way to identify these substances is to look at DM by the letters before the name of the chemical preservative such as DM hydantoin. For these two substances include studies at the prestigious Mayo Clinic (USA) show that the imidazolidinyl urea and hydantoin DM irritate the respiratory system and skin and can cause palpitations.

And the above are not the only formaldehyde releasing preservatives. So do dimethyl oxazolidine, the armilacetato or alkifenol.
