Europe Bans Preservative Mixture MCI/MI In Leave-On Cosmetics

By July 16, 2015, cosmetics manufacturers will be prohibited from marketing leave-on products in Europe that contain a preservative mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone under a ban the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel anticipated with concern in recent meetings. Simultaneously, the EC announces stricter limits on propylparaben and butylparaben in personal-care items.
