Safety Profile Of DisperBYK 2010:
DisperBYK 2010 is a heterocyclic organic compound used as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products in concentrations up to 0.01%.
DisperBYK 2010 is a colorless, clear liquid with a mild odor that is completely soluble in water; mostly soluble in acetonitrile, methanol, and hexane; and slightly soluble in xylene.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel noted the in vitro evidence of neurotoxicity but concluded that the absence of any neurotoxicity findings in the many in vivo studies, including subchronic, chronic, and reproductive and developmental animal studies, suggests that DisperBYK 2010 would not be neurotoxic as used in cosmetics.

Although recognizing that DisperBYK 2010 was a sensitizer in both animal and human studies, the panel concluded that there is a threshold dose response and that cosmetic products formulated to contain concentrations of MIT at 100 ppm (0.0 1%) or less would not be expected to pose a sensitization risk.
Accordingly, DisperBYK 2010 may be safely used as a preservative in cosmetics up to that concentration.

DisperBYK 2010 is allergenic and cytotoxic, and this has led to some concern over its use.
A report released by the European Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-food Products
Intended for Consumers (SCCNFP) in 2003 also concluded that insufficient information was available to allow for an adequate risk assessment analysis of DisperBYK 2010.
