Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These wipes contain a diluted but highly corrosive chemical, methyllisothiazolinone (MI), which is used as a preservative to extend shelf life of the product (that translates as saving the corporation $$$). Europe had so many problems with MI in hygiene products that it was banned (Canada and Japan, too?). Europe considered MI to be unsafe at any level for "leave-on" products, that is, products that leave the chemical residue on your skin. methyllisothiazolinone is in many hygiene products (Pantene; Revlon; Clairol; Dove; St. Ives; Olay/Avon; Dawn detergent), but it is often washed off after use, such as with hair shampoo and conditioner. Here's a more complete list of products containing MI (this list is hardly complete): [...] Anal wipes leave MI residue on your skin. Why would Kimberly-Clark put this chemical in these wipes, especially since it knows the problems? Why would Kimberly-Clark spend YEARS seeking an alternative, as they declare in the following: "Kimberly-Clark has proactively been exploring alternatives to the preservative Methylisothiazolinone (MI) for years and decided last summer to develop MI-free baby wipes." [That would be Huggies] Dow Chemical markets MI under a brand name Kathan CG, and Kimberly-Clark has close ties to Dow, including a fondness for sharing executive "talent". Am I wrong, Kimberly-Clark? Kimberly-Clark refers to the sometimes serious skin conditions caused by MI as "ALLEGED allergic reactions" (emphasis added). Go here to read their official statement on this matter: [...] Many Americans who come into contact with methyllisothiazolinone have no clue as to what is causing their burning/stinging rashes, their itching, and their oozing sores, and in worst-case scenarios, their bleeding sores. They may spend a fortune seeking medical solutions for what is happening to them. According to online reports, some people are told they might have colon cancer, herpes, or venereal disease. MI can inflict skin trauma on hands, mouths, and scalp...anywhere. Me? I had what could only be described as a chemical burn sensation in my anal area. Try using soap and water on a chemical burn. So thanks for all your care and concern here, Kimberly-Clark. It's taken you several years to discover an alternative? That's just not a credible thing to say. You caused me a great deal of concern using this product, a great deal of discomfort and pain. All because you want to extend shelf life of your product.
