Qu'est ce que le MIT et le CMIT?

Le Méthylisothiazolinone (MIT – CAS n°2682-20-4) et Méthylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT CAS n°26172-55-4) sont des conservateurs. Le MIT et CMIT sont, par ailleurs, également utilisés comme biocides pour lutter contre la prolifération de bactéries et champignons.

Ainsi, le MIT et le CMIT font parti de la composition de nombreux articles.

En effet, ils se retrouvent par exemple dans les produits de soin (crèmes, savons, shampoings…), dans les peintures ou encore, les produits ménagers.

Why dose MIT and CMIT?

MIT and CMIT have been identified as allergens. 

As a result, regulations limiting the maximum concentration to 0.01% have been put in place. These regulations aim to limit skin allergies, especially on the face and hands, which are the most common.

Thus, before putting any product in contact with the skin on the market, it is required to measure these two preservatives.
