Diazolidinyl urea (Keeping your lotion mold-free)

Category: Medicine
Posted on: October 12, 2007 9:00 AM, by Molecule of the Day

Diazolidinyl urea is a broad-spectrum biocide that is ubiquitous in cosmetics:

InChI=1/C8H14N4O7/c13-1-9-7(18)10(2-14)5-6(17)12(4-16)8(19)11(5)3-15/h5,13-16H,1-4H2,(H,9,18) InChIKey=SOROIESOUPGGFO-UHFFFAOYAO


It does an admirable job. You'll see it EVERYWHERE once you start reading labels. It tends to be pretty benign, but a contact allergy can result, which makes it hard to find a usable suite of hygeine products for those afflicted.

I don't know where you scanned that structure image but I recommend downloading the ChemSKetch freeware from http://www.acdlabs.com/download/chemsk.html and redrawing your structures....this one is SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.
