I misstated. They contain a formaldahyde "releaser". Ice on Ice does not have the ingredients on the bottle, but when I contacted them, they sent the info immediately and I really appreciated that. The other is EQyss Avocado Mist. Both list DMDM Hydantoin as an ingredient. Wiki shows the following, so I am trying to find out if I should be concerned.

DMDM hydantoin is an antimicrobial formaldehyde releaser preservative with the trade name Glydant. DMDM hydantoin is an organic compound belonging to a class of compounds known as hydantoins. It is used in the cosmetics industry and found in products like shampoos, hair conditioners, hair gels and skin care products.[1][2]
DMDM hydantoin works as a preservative because the released formaldehyde makes the environment less favorable to the microorganisms.
