Is it illegal to have MIT and CIT in wipes?

The restrictions on preservatives in cosmetic regulations are not binding on wet wipes, and the current standards for wet wipes do not prohibit the use of MIT and CIT.

Squeeze the wipes with your hands. Choose a wipe that does not have a very thick liquid that is squeezed out. If the hands that have been wiped with wet wipes foam when rinsed with water, it means that the wet wipes contain a large amount of additives
