• Product Detials:Imidazolidinyl urea is mainly used as an antimicrobial preservative in cosmetics and other Personal care products (INCI, 2003; Lewis, 2000; McEntee, 1995; Ngan, 2003; Nikitakis, 1988; Rieger, 1993).
  
  Imidazolidinyl urea is more active against bacteria than fungi and is often combined with Parabens to provide a broad spectrum preservative system. This preservative is one of the Most widely used preservative systems in the world (Block, 1993; International Specialty Products, 1999). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers imidazolidinyl urea As one of the most common antimicrobial agents used in cosmetics (Amouroux et al., 1999).
  
  Due to its high water solubility, imidazolidinyl urea can be incorporated into almost all Water-based cosmetics, toiletries, and cold mix formulations. It is present in a wide range Of liquid and powder products such as baby lotion, skin cream, sunscreens, shampoos, Eyeliners, blush, perfumes, deodorants, hair dyes, shaving cream, and face masks (Clariant, 2002; International Specialty Products, 1999; NLM, 2003; Pepe et al., 2001).
  
  As of November 2003, a total of 1, 096 patents using imidazolidinyl urea were filed with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office since 1976 (U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, 2003).
  
  Human Exposure:
  
  Occupational Exposure: The National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES), which was Conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) between 1981 and 1983, estimated that 28, 769 workers, including 18, 644 females, in 1, 885 facilities Representing 7 industries were potentially exposed to imidazolidinyl urea in the workplace (RTECS, 1997). The NOES database does not contain information on the frequency, level, Or duration of exposure to workers of any chemical listed therein.
  
  Estimates from the NOES suggest that individuals working as hairdressers and Cosmetologists have more exposure to imidazolidinyl urea than any other occupation. In Addition, females were exposed more than males
