I have had an allergic reaction to the MI preservative for the past 2 years. Is there anything to relieve the symptoms and can you recommend a brand of soap that does not contain it? Thank you

What are your allergy-related symptoms?

My hands are like water blisters and then it cracks and forms yellowish scabs and itches and finally it's as if it were burns all this for a little over 2 years

Your reactions are very impressive. I believe that they deserve that you consult an allergist. This specialist will be available to you after you have seen your family doctor. He will know how to relieve these very specific symptoms.

For my part, the only thing I can recommend is that you do not expose yourself to the allergen. Despite all my research, I can't find the exact name of the preservative in question. Do you know it? I can then search with you for a product line that does not contain it.

the preservative in question is methylisothiazolinone

You are not the only one who has experienced allergic reactions to this ingredient. According to the EWG website (http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/703935/METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE/#.WWkLZYQ1_cs), this ingredient is considered a problematic one, and is present in a multitude of personal care products. Follow the link here to find a list of products that contain it. This will help you make a list of products to avoid.
