Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a preservative used in a variety of consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care products, and household cleaners. It is a synthetic chemical that does not occur naturally in the human body.
MIT can be harmful to the skin if used incorrectly. It can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and other health problems.
If you are allergic to MIT, you should avoid products that contain it. You should also avoid products that contain a mixture of MIT and methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT), as this combination is more likely to cause an allergic reaction.
If you are not allergic to MIT, you can still use products that contain MIT. However, you should be careful not to use them too often or for too long. You should also avoid using them on broken skin.
If you experience any skin irritation after using a product containing MIT, you should stop using the product and consult a physician.
