Functions: DMDM Hydantoin is a controversial ingredient because of its formaldehyde properties. Although the releasing of formaldehyde is the process that makes the environment less favorable for microorganisms (source), this process is what makes it an effective cleanser and preservative in many beauty products.unctions: DMDM Hydantoin is a controversial ingredient because of its formaldehyde properties.

Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic. Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range right around ( 7.35 - 7.45 ). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves to much below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies. The ideal pH for blood is 7.4.
The pH of an acid solution is less than 7, the pH of an alkaline solution is higher than 7. Thus, an Alkaline Body pH means that the pH of the blood is above 7 with the ideal pH being 7.35. Outside of this range-the body activity is no longer optimal and the metabolism is out of balance. There are several buffer systems established in the body to neutralize acids.
