Background

Quaternium-15 is a broad-spectrum preservative found in many cosmetics and personal care products. Quaternium-15 is one of the formaldehyde-releasing preservatives that include imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-l,3-diol, DMDM (dimethylolmethyl)hydantoin, and tris (hydroxymethyl) nitromethane. Although quaternium-l 5 does release small amounts of formaldehyde, not all patients who are allergic to quaternium-15 are allergic to formaldehyde and vice versa.
