    BASF Launches 1,4-Dioxane Calculator

    An easier way to keep product formulas in compliance.

    BASF Launches 1,4-Dioxane Calculator

    BASF's new 1,4-Dioxane calculator enables  personal care formulators to enter ingredients (both BASF and non-BASF) and determine the total 1,4-Dioxane content in their formulas. The tool also recommends alternative BASF ingredients to bring the total 1,4-Dioxane value of the formulation to less than 1ppm.

    To learn more, click here. 

    According to BASF, while consumers are becoming more savvy about the safety of their household cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are scrutinizing the health and environmental impact of these products more closely than ever. 1,4-Dioxane is one of the latest ingredient impurities to go under the microscope. During the manufacturing of certain surfactants and emulsifiers, 1,4-Dioxane is often a byproduct. This chemical has been classified by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals,” despite there being inadequate evidence to correlate human cancer and exposure to 1,4-Dioxane. 

    Last December, the State of New York passed a law banning all but trace amounts of 1,4-Dioxane in household cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products. The law aims to reduce the presence of this substance in drinking water by limiting its presence in consumer products. Under the New York rules, 1-4 Dioxane restrictions are:

    Household Cleaning Products + Personal Care Products
    • 2ppm by Dec. 31, 2022
    • 1ppm by Dec. 31, 2023

    Cosmetic Products
    • 10ppm by Dec. 31, 2022

    Other states may soon follow suit. This means that manufacturers may need to quickly reformulate household cleaning, personal care and cosmetic products to meet the New York law’s 2022 and 2023 deadlines, and also to stay ahead of regulation that may be coming from other states.

    To navigate the changing regulatory environment, it’s important to understand the solutions available to significantly reduce or effectively eliminate 1,4-Dioxane from your formulations. That could mean finding an alternative to SLES, a PEG with guaranteed low levels of 1,4-Dioxane or a combination of new ingredients.

    Not sure where to start? BASF's Flex Brochure may provide answers.
