DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides highly potent broad-spectrum preservation at very low concentrations in rinse-off formulations.

Why It's Used: Most potent cosmetic preservative — mit provides effective preservation at concentrations 10-100× lower than most other preservatives, enabling clean-label preservation at minimal ingredient load.

How It Works: Electrophilic isothiazolinone ring reacts with bacterial thiol enzymes (glutathione, coa-dependent enzymes) via michael addition for rapid kill. very potent — mic vs e. coli 0.06μg/ml (vs phenoxyethanol mic ~400μg/ml — 6000× more potent). rapidly biodegradable.

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Eu regulation 2014/1298: mit banned from leave-on products. max 15ppm in rinse-off only. contact sensitiser — causes occupational dermatitis epidemic in hairdressers and consumers. sccs noted no safe level for leave-on. 2016 eu restriction driven by major sensitisation epidemic.

Works Well With: Standard skincare actives

Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Mit's sensitisation epidemic (2010-2015) is one of the most significant cosmetic safety events in modern dermatology: a dramatic increase in contact allergy patch test positive rates from <1% (2005) to 7% (2015) in the eu was directly traceable to the widespread introduction of mit in leave-on products. this epidemic prompted the fastest eu cosmetic regulatory action in history and demonstrates the critical importance of patch test surveillance in monitoring emerging cosmetic allergens.
