Preservative to be banned in cosmetics following allergy fear

Breaking news on Preservative to be banned in cosmetics

After reading about the Preservative to be banned in cosmetics  in the Professional Beauty magazine we have decided to let you know what we have found.

The preservative methylisothiazolinone also known as MI or MIT is likely to be banned from leave in skin care products after evidence has been found that it can cause skin allergies and dermatitis.  Cosmetics Europe which represents skin care manufacturers across the continent has published a recommendation that the ingredients should no longer be used in leave on cosmetic products including wipes.  The recommendation follows reports in July presented at the British association of dermatologists annual conference which showed an increase in cases of allergy to the preservative.

The preservative  methylisothiazolinone was introduced to the market in 2006, concerns first arose in summer 2013.  After pressure to remove parabens from skin care, methylisothiazolinone replaced it, this change is what has caused the increase in allergies.  None of the alternative preservatives are a benign as parabens so there is likely to be a higher incidence of skin irritation when an alternative preservative is used.

We will keep you up to date on how they plan to resolve this matter, we recommend that you keep an eye on the ingredients in your skin care products and wipes, particularly if you have sensitive skin.
