Is there a safer alternative to Methylisothiazolinone?
Methylisothiazolinone is a widely-used preservative in many personal care products, specifically many hair care products.

However, it is not banned in the United States yet. How do we get the US to eliminate the use of Methylisothiazolinone in personal care products, specifically hair care? Is there a safer alternative manufacturers can use instead of this harmful preservative?
