How to avoid MI

It is clear that we must stay away from this chemical. The major cosmetic manufacturers are working to get this substance out of their products, but there is still a lot of it on the market. Products such as creams, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, toothpastes, etc. can contain MI. The safest way to find out if the product you are using contains MI is to read the ingredients list for the word: Methylisothiazolinone, MIT or MI.

We of course do NOT use this dangerous chemical substance in our products. We use absolutely no chemical preservatives in our products, only natural preservatives such as vitamin E, tea tree oil and other oils that are known to have an antibacterial effect. Therefore, our products are a fresh product. Nevertheless, they have a shelf life of about 12 months after you have received the product from us.
