Guest Rachel281 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hello, new user here ! I was reading the ingredient list and came across the ingredient "methylisothiazolinone" in the glycolic acid peel. The wikipedia article on this ingredient said it has recently been found to cause damage to growing neurons and cells in high concentrations (30-100 micromolar). My question is: does this peel have a high concentration of this chemical to cause any side-effects on the skin or the cells? Or are these amounts negligible?

KAVI Support Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 We use methylisothiazolinone as a preservative in some of our products, however the concentration in solution is only 6 micromoles, enough to prevent bacteria and fungi from growing but too low to be considered cytotoxic.
