It's a preservative widely used in skincare. It became notorious in 2013 after it was found that it was to blame for a worrying increase in skin sensitivities such as eczema & doctors called for it to be banned. Following the TV programme 'Watchdog' the following companies removed the preservative from their products:
Piz Buin
Vaseline
Brylcreem
Huggies
Nivea
The following brands revealed that they would continue to use MI for as long as it remains approved by Europe.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter
Umberto Giannini
Boots Botanics conditioner
Boots Fruit Essence dry ends shampoo
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF30
Dove Men+Care Face Wash Sensitive
Dove Deeply Nourishing Body Wash
St Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting
Radox Shower Smoothies Spirit Booster
Charles Worthington
It seems not a lot has changed since 2013.
