Quantification of Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT)

Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) are widely used in cosmetics, industrial and household products. Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT), known as isothiazolinone preservatives, can cause allergic contact dermatitis.

Various analyzes can be performed to determine the use of MIT and CMIT in accordance with the relevant regulations and acceptance criteria. Especially with the increasing demand for cosmetic products, studies for product control and safety have increased. Cosmetic products may contain emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, moisturizers, colorants and various fragrances. It is important to detect high amounts or inappropriate use of these ingredients.

For these reasons, the determination of methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) is necessary in cosmetic products. Cosmetic products using methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) are as follows.

• Shampoo
• Hair conditioner
• Sunscreen
• Wet wipes
