Just heard about this at the doctor's office this morning, but it may have been posted here before... if so, please overlook.
The preservative referred to as MI (Methylisothiazolinone (MI) was thought to be a very safe preservative and is now either being banned or companies are considering banning it.
The article in the link above shows a picture of an adult with the rash on their hands. So far,the rashes seem to be seen on mom's hands from using baby wipes on their babies, etc. I am passing this along to our DD b/c our grand baby has rashy skin... the doctor said "not to worry" but it looks the same to me.
Any thoughts?
PS the article also mentions cosmetics (especially leave-on products like lotions). I am going to look for this ingredient in lotions/sunscreens/lip products because I have sensitive skin and who know? Maybe this is the cause. Also, the article mentions that some products are preserved with sodium benzoate or grapefruit oil... might be good alternatives to use for while or try out.
