Toxicology of preservatives

  • Chapter
Preservation of Surfactant Formulations

Abstract

Preservatives are, by their very nature, biologically active molecules. Basically, they need to be aggressive to do a good job. Therefore, most biocides, particularly those used for product preservation, are subject to some form of regulation specifying scope and concentration for use. In today’s tightly regulated environment, the development of a new preservative is a very expensive and time-consuming operation. The test requirements for regulatory approval of a new chemical vary depending on where it is made and marketed. In addition, many countries have positive lists for preservatives, particularly when they are used in cosmetics or foods. To obtain a positive listing, a package of toxicological studies needs to be presented to and approved by the relevant regulatory authority.
