MI (Methylisothiazolinon)
 

MI is an effective preservative, which has unfortunately proven to be highly allergenic.

Derma products do not contain MI. In fact, MI is still permitted for use, but the EU Commission is considering a law banning the use of MI in leave-on cosmetic products intended to remain on the body, such as creams. There are no immediate plans to ban the substance in rinse-off products such as soap.

MI is excluded in products approved by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and AllergyCertified and recommended by Asthma Allergy Nordic.
