IODOFORM

Ingredient type: HUMECTANT/WATER-SOLUBLE

✨ Role: Iodoform is often used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. In cosmetics, it can be used for its antimicrobial properties, although its use is uncommon in modern formulations due to its potency and pronounced odor.

Ingredient type: Water-soluble.

‍⚕️ Safety: Iodoform is generally safe to use in controlled concentrations, but it can be irritating to sensitive skin and present risks with prolonged use or high doses.

✨ Vegan: No, because it can be obtained from non-vegan sources and its use is limited to very specific contexts.

✨ Worth knowing: Iodoform has an irritant potential and gives off a rather strong odor characteristic of iodine, which limits its use in cosmetics. Virtually replaced by gentler, more effective alternatives in skin care.

Present in: Historically used in antiseptic products, its use is now very rare in today's cosmetics.
