- SCCS Opinion on Butylparaben (CAS No. 94-26-8, EC No. 202-318-7) - Children's exposurePublication . European Commission. Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)The SCCS concludes the following: 1. In light of the data provided and taking under consideration the conclusions of the SCCS/1651/23 Opinion on children exposure, does the SCCS consider Butylparaben safe for children, when used as a preservative up to a maximum concentration of 0.14 %? Based on the safety assessment carried out in consideration of all available information, including the potential endocrine effects, the SCCS is of the opinion that the use of Butylparaben as preservative at a maximum concentration of 0.14 % (as acid) in all cosmetic products included in this exposure assessment is not safe for children between 0.5-1 years, 1-3 years, 3-6 years and 6-10 years when used in combination. With the exception of body lotion, it is safe in single dermal and oral product categories, when used only in the respective product category. 2.Alternatively, what is, according to the SCCS, the maximum concentration of Butylparaben that is considered safe for the age groups of children considered in this opinion”? In the SCCS’s opinion, Butylparaben could be considered safe for children of all age groups that were evaluated, provided that the maximum concentration of Butylparaben is reduced in some product types so that the aggregate exposure does not exceed 245 μg/kg bw/day. During the public consultation, the SCCS received a proposal from the Applicant to maintain the concentration of Butylparaben at 0.14 % (as acid) in rinse-off products and reduce it to 0.002 % (as acid) in leave-on products and 0.092 % (as acid) in oral care products. Based on these reduced concentrations, Butylparaben is considered safe for children of all age groups and product types included in the assessment, whether used individually or in combination. 3. Does the SCCS have any further scientific concerns regarding the use of Butylparaben in cosmetic products and children’s exposure? This Opinion is not applicable to any sprayable product (including mouth spray) that may lead to exposure of end-user’s lungs by inhalation. The SCCS mandates do not address environmental aspects. Therefore, this assessment did not cover the safety of Butylparaben for the environment.
- Scientific advice – children’s exposure to Methyl salicylate (methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate) - Revision of SCCS/1654/23Publication . European Commission. Scientific Committee on Consumer SafetyThe SCCS concludes the following: 1. Taking under consideration the conclusions of SCCS/1658/23 and the aggregate exposure, the SCCS is requested to re-assess the maximum concentration of Methyl Salicylate that is considered safe when used in products intended for children of age 0-3. The SCCS is of the view that, to be considered safe, the concentration of Methyl Salicylate should not exceed 0.4% in toothpaste and 0.02% in other products when used in products intended for children of age 0-3 years. 2. Does the SCCS have any further scientific concerns with regard to the use of Methyl Salicylate in cosmetic products and children’s exposure? The SCCS mandates do not address environmental aspects. Therefore, this assessment did not cover the safety of Methyl Salicylate for the environment.
