Adopted on: 30 April 2025The 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.engMethyl SalicylateChildrenCosmetic IngredientsSafety AssessmentENvironmental GenotoxicityGenotoxicidade Ambientalreport
