applications of the principles of good laboratory practice and the verification of their
application for tests on chemical substances.

This assessment takes account of:


a) the general toxicological profile of each ingredient used:
b) the chemical structure of each ingredient:
c) the level of exposure of each ingredient;
d) the specific exposure characteristics of the areas on which the cosmetic
product will be applied;
e) the specific exposure characteristics of the class of individuals for whom the
cosmetic product is intended.

REVIEW OF INGREDIENTS

All of the ingredients have a history of use in cosmetic and toiletry products.
Ingredients that are:

1
• Prohibited under EU Cosmetics Regulations
• Restricted when used beyond the allowed authorised conditions
• With toxicological data incompatible with the intended concentration and
use
• Which have insufficient toxicological data nor safety in use experience
• Which are not properly characterised with regard to purity and analytical
composition are excluded.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment is based on ingredient safety review and information on the final


formulation, including the intended and reasonably foreseeable use, the physico-
chemical and microbiological specifications of the raw materials and the finished
product, stability and a history and record of any reported undesirable effects
linked to the use of the product.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

This is a leave-on product for application to infant whole body as a skin protectant
and moisturiser.

DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE USE

The product may reasonably be typically used up to 1-2 times daily as required,

QUALITITATIVE COMPOSITION OF THE PRODUCT

A FULL QUANTITATIVE VERSION OF THIS ASSESSMENT IS HELD ON FILE


BY THE ASSESSOR AND THE MANUFACTURER

Ingredients are listed below. Detailed information on the safety and toxicology of
ingredients is presented below.

The above ingredients have been reviewed for potential to be skin irritants,
sensitisers or photo-sensitisers.
Where data is available for systemic and sub-chronic toxicity this has been taken
into account.
A review of the literature and of the structural chemistry has been made for each
ingredient to estimate the likely potential for genotoxicity, reproductive effects and
carcinogenicity.

No animal testing has been conducted on this formulation. All safety data is taken
from existing published sources.

EXPOSURE TO THE PRODUCT/ EXPOSURE TO THE SUBSTANCES

MARGINS OF SAFETY

Based on the available toxicological literature or on “read-across” data Margins of


Safety have been calculated for both topical and systemic effects.
The procedure is as described in: THE SCCS NOTES OF GUIDANCE, FOR THE
TESTING OF COSMETIC INGREDIENTS AND THEIR SAFETY EVALUATION, 8th
REVISION, 2012.

Dermal Absorption reported as a % of the substance applied:

EXPOSURE TO THE SUBSTANCES

For a typical infant a median bodyweight of 10 kg is selected.

The calculation of the SED is as follows:

SED = A (g/day) x 1000mg/g x C (%)/100 x DAp (%)/100


10 kg

SED (mg/kg bw/day) = Systemic Exposure Dosage


A (g/day) = Amount of the cosmetic product applied daily:
see the daily exposure values for different cosmetic product types
C (%) = the Concentration of the ingredient under study in the finished cosmetic
product on the application site
DAp (%) = Dermal Absorption expressed as a percentage
of the test dose assumed to be applied in real life conditions
10 kg = Typical Infant body weight

The calculation of Margin of Safety (MOS): NOAEL


SED

NOAEL data is derived from published literature where available.

Estimated Daily Exposure Levels:

Data for Estimated daily exposure levels is taken from the current Colipa data as
presented in THE SCCS NOTES OF GUIDANCE, FOR THE TESTING OF
COSMETIC INGREDIENTS AND THEIR SAFETY EVALUATION, 8th REVISION,
2012.
Table 3: Estimated daily exposure levels for different cosmetic product types according
to Colipa data [SCCNFP/0321/02; Hall et al. 2007, 2011].

INGREDIENT TOXICOLOGY PROFILE & SAFETY REVIEW

HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL

CAS: 8001-21-6
EINECS: 232-273-9

Sunflower seed oil is a vegetable oil with a safety and toxicity profile similar to
vegetable oil and as described below. The fatty acid profile includes linoleic acid
(63%), oleic acid (23%) and palmitic acid (6%) as the major fatty acids. In common
with other vegetable oils this is a blend of C16-C18 triglycerides.
Limited formal safety data is available since this is a GRAS substance (Generally
Regarded As Safe).
A human repeat insult patch test on vegetable oil on 88 subjects gave no signs of
irritation or sensitisation. The fatty acid profile of Sunflower oil is similar to that of
Coconut oil and Palm oil, and the safety of these oils is relevant to Sunflower oil.
Coconut oil is the subject of a CIR monograph (2010) and of a review in JACT
(1986). It is reported non-irritant to skin and eyes in animals nor is it a sensitiser.
There was no indication that products containing coconut oil were phototoxic nor
were primary irritants.
Palm oil is the subject of a CIR monograph (2010) also shows no adverse toxicity.
The oral LD50 in rats is low at >5g/kg. Short term and sub-chronic feeding studies
showed no evidence of toxicity.
In summary this ingredient is considered to be safe as used in this formulation.

A NOAEL of 2000 mg/kg is established. (3)

SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR INFANTS

It is a requirement of the Regulation that there is a special Assessment for infant


products. This is given below.
In assessing the safety for infants and children consideration has been given to
several factors including the potential for accidental oral ingestion and the potential
for dermal irritation, sensitisation and penetration with possible systemic effects.

6
Accidental Oral Ingestion

The potential of accidental oral ingestion is related to the problem that infants and
children are recognised to eat or drink cosmetic products. It is therefore important
that product formulations have a very low potential for acute toxic effects especially
in infants where the bodyweight is much less than an adult.
Based on the known acute toxicity to rodents of the components of the formulation,
it is estimated that the formulation will have an LD50 of >10gm/kg bodyweight.
This would indicate a very low order of acute oral toxicity. An infant aged 1 year
and typically of weight 10kg, would not be harmed by oral ingestion of 100 gm of
baby massage oil. The potential for systemic adverse effects has been considered.
Ingredients that have the potential for intestinal absorption are readily metabolised
and excreted and are not considered likely to have systemic toxic effects.

Dermal Penetration and Systemic Effects

Consideration has been given to the potential for dermal penetration of the
ingredients of the formulation.
It is recognised that infants are not the same as small adults in assessing the
safety and toxicity potential of materials. In particular the infant has a much greater
surface area/ bodyweight ratio than an adult, resulting in a greater potential for
systemic toxicity.
It is recognised that pre-term (premature) infants have the potential for greater
dermal penetration of any cosmetic ingredient as a result of thinner and immature
skin. In addition, although the skin permeability of full-term infants is essentially
identical to that of adults, occlusion of the scrotum in males and of damaged skin in
the diaper area, may have the potential to increase dermal absorption of certain
cosmetic ingredients.
It is considered that the ingredients are readily metabolised where there is dermal
absorption and are not likely to have adverse systemic toxicity.

Local Dermal Effects, Irritation and Sensitisation Potential

This assessment includes a review of the likely irritancy and sensitisation potential
of each of the ingredients of the formulation. It is considered that there is an
extremely low potential for dermal irritancy or allergenicity.

It can therefore be concluded that the formulation is safe for the intended use and
that there is no significant risk of irritancy or allergy.

PART A SAFETY SUMMARY

In reviewing the safety and toxicity profile of the ingredients used and their history
of safe use, it is concluded that there are no likely safety hazards from normal use
of this product and when used as directed or from foreseeable conditions of
misuse.

The product is considered safe for sale in EU Countries.

PART B

SAFETY ASSESSMENT SUMMARY


According to EC1223-2009.

SUMMARY

Reasoning:
This Assessment has considered the safety and toxicological profile of all raw
materials and any trace components present. Consideration has been given to
parameters of weight of evidence (particularly for long established materials) and
also published toxicity data for NOAEL’s allowing calculations of Margins of Safety,
based on established use of the product. Margins of Safety have been calculated
to confirm safety from a systemic aspect.

Assessment for local effects, including skin and eye irritation, dermal sensitization
and photoallergenicity was evaluated based on established safe use for dermal
safety, derived from manufacturers data, and data published by CIR and also in
the public domain.

Assessment for systemic effects including target organ toxicity, effects on maternal
and reproductive toxicity and a review of genotoxic and carcinogenic safety was
evaluated based on established safe use and from manufacturers data, and data
published by CIR and also in the public domain.

Established use and consumer exposure is derived from data produced by SCCS
in Notes of Guidance.

8
The above formulation is based on known ingredients with history of safe use in
cosmetic products.
The Assessment has considered the safety of the individual ingredients both
separately and in combination to produce the final formulation.
A review of the data relating to raw material purity indicates that all materials and
packaging have a satisfactory physical and chemical profile. There are no
unacceptable levels of prohibited substances or impurities.

The product is deemed to have adequate stability.


The product is considered to be adequately preserved.
The finished product specification is considered to meet current standards for
Microbial quality.
This Safety Assessment has taken account of:

1. The Quantitative/Qualitative composition of the product,


2. The intended and reasonably foreseeable use of the product,
3. Margins of Safety for all ingredients considered both individually and in
combination.
4. Standards of good manufacturing practice
5. A consideration of potential interactions of substances in the formulation.
6. A consideration of the stability of the formulation.

Conclusion

In reviewing the safety and toxicity profile of the ingredients and their history of
safe use, raw material standards and labelling, it is concluded that there are no
likely safety hazards from normal use of this product and when used as directed or
from foreseeable conditions of misuse.

The product is considered safe for sale in EU Countries.
