it won't, because the amount of active preservative in the raw material is around 55% - the rest is water, so it would contain the equivalent amount as 0.055% formalin
also, the amount of free formaldehyde is considerably less than than that (1% at most), as the rest of it is bound to the DMDM hydantoin molecule (the two -CH2OH groups attached to the nitrogens) and is only released when microbes attempt to ingest it
so the actual amount of formaldehyde in solution is equivalent to 0.00055% formalin at most

I know some stuff about: EU regulations, emulsions (O/W and W/O), toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoos, other toiletries
One more question. If in DMDM hydantoin 45% is wayer and ~18% is total formaldehyde, what is the rest of that? And does it function as a strong preservative as the rest of formaldehyde?
