be cleansed <strong>of</strong> after apply. This preservative is found in totally 15 <strong>products</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> all these <strong>products</strong> are body shampoo/bath gel or bobble bath; that means<br />

<strong>products</strong> being cleansed <strong>of</strong> after apply.<br />

Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate must not be used <strong>for</strong> oral hygiene or <strong>for</strong> the lips<br />

<strong>and</strong> if the concentration is higher than a certain level <strong>for</strong> <strong>products</strong> not being<br />

cleansed <strong>of</strong> after apply it must be stated on the product that it contains iodine.<br />
