hi, hoping you’re coping. i’ve been reading about an ingredient that’s been causing a lot of skin reactions in the last couple of years...

methylisothiazolinone (MI) and its relatives, such as methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI)-

seems to be in a lot of products, shampoos, soaps, even laundry detergent..

i’m going to start washing w/o soaps and only use coconut oil for awhile as a test.

there’s a website for this chemical called MI free, where you can learn more. Good luck.
