4 Safety Assessment of Cosmetic Ingredients Present in Technical Information Files of Finished Products Safety Assessment of Cosmetic Ingredients Present in Technical Information Files of Finished Products Rogiers V, Pauwels M (eds): Safety Assessment of Cosmetics in Europe Curr Probl Dermatol Basel, Karger, 2008, vol 36, pp 94–114 4.1 Introduction As explained in detail in section 1.2.7, two distinct channels are operative for the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients, namely the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients of direct relevance to Council Directive 76/768/EEC [EU, 1976a], currently taken care of by the SCCP, and the safety evaluation of all ingredients present in finished cosmetic products, carried out by a qualified safety assessor The most extensive list of data requirements imposed by the SCCP consists of: (1) acute toxicity (if available), (2) irritation and corrosivity, (3) skin sensitisation, (4) dermal/percutaneous absorption, (5) repeated dose toxicity, (6) mutagenicity/genotoxicity, (7) carcinogenicity, (8) reproductive toxicity, (9) toxicokinetics, (10) photo-induced toxicity, (11) human data Points 1–6 are generally considered the minimal base set requirements, whereas points 7–9 may become necessary when considerable oral intake is expected or when the data on dermal/percutaneous absorption indicate a considerable DA Photoinduced toxicity data (point 10) are specifically required when the cosmetic product is expected or intended to being used on sunlight-exposed skin [SCCP, 2006b] In the previous chapter, we have seen that the majority of SCC(NF)P submissions indeed contained points 1–6, but equally point (see 3.2.5.a) As opposed to cosmetic ingredients taken up in the Annexes of the Cosmetic Products Directive, there is no official framework providing clear guidelines for the safety assessment of ingredients used in finished cosmetic products The cosmetic legislation only states that the safety of a cosmetic product needs to be assessed ‘by taking into consideration the general toxicological profile of the ingredients, their chemical structure and their level of exposure’ [EU, 1993] Experience has learnt that the retrieval of sound and sufficient toxicological data on individual ingredients of cosmetic products often constitutes a major obstacle for safety assessors In many cases, they will turn to the respective raw material suppliers to obtain physicochemical specifications and minimal toxicological data packages on their ingredients Although the SCCP is not responsible for the safety assessment of ingredients not taken up in the Annexes to Dir 76/768/EEC [EU, 1976a], some general considerations are provided in the SCCP Notes of Guidance Inter alia, the Committee alleges that acute toxicity, skin and eye irritation, skin sensitisation and a basic set of mutagenicity data, form the minimal data package to enable a scientifically sound safety evaluation of a cosmetic ingredient The SCCP advises that suppliers should be encouraged to deliver at least these data to all their customers in the cosmetic industry, especially since some substances are socalled ‘actives’ and are not necessarily safe at all concentrations used [SCCP, 2006b] In a real-life situation, the aforementioned minimal toxicological data package can not always be obtained, e.g when a cosmetic company wants to develop a ‘new’ cosmetic product and needs certain ingredients from a raw material supplier The latter may be reluctant to disclose all information on these substances, in particular since in this early phase no commercial links yet exist Another example is the typical situation of SMEs, which may be put at a disadvantage because of reduced spending power towards suppliers Sometimes, only important clients receive all available toxicological information In cases where the requested data are difficult to obtain or are incomplete, it may be necessary to consult external sources of physicochemical and toxicological data that can be accessed independently from raw material suppliers Before such an extensive search is initiated, it is useful to know which data can be found on specific types of compounds Since Dir 76/768/EEC [EU, 1976a] does not impose specific data requirements for the majority of cosmetic ingredients that are no candidates for inclusion in one of the Annexes of the Cosmetic Products Directive, we have to refer to the complex web of EU regulations mentioned in chapter of this book Besides safety tests carried out (on a voluntary basis) for certain cosmetic ingredients, the availability of data will depend upon the requirements and data accessibility measures laid down in the other legislation(s) governing these substances A useful evaluation of expected data availability is given in section 1.3 Finally, it must be emphasised that the accessible parts of available toxicological data not necessarily consist of full study reports In general, summaries and study results are described, while the details and raw data of the studies remain property of the company involved The list of available sources is long and includes websites of official organisations, freely accessible databases and their commercial counterparts Out of our own experience, an overview of useful data sources is compiled in order to assist the cosmetic safety assessor in her/his comprehensive task 4.2 Database Search for Safety Information on Cosmetic Ingredients 4.2.1 General Considerations From a practical point of view, potentially relevant safety data for cosmetic ingredients usually are a combination of: 96 Rogiers и Pauwels – the standard toxicological data package available for chemical substances, typically consisting of LD50 values, irritation and sensitisation data, NOAEL values out of repeated dose toxicity studies, results of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and/or reproductive toxicity studies, etc., – additional relevant data including official classifications and industrial threshold limit values, data on analogous substances, relevant data in the public literature, etc Besides official documents and websites at the EU and non EU level, free and commercial databases and websites all over the world have proven to be storehouses of information As the number of data sources containing safety data is very diverse, they need to be compiled in a structured overview in order to obtain, within a limited time frame, the key information that exists on a particular cosmetic ingredient In addition, a general and realistic overview of the usefulness of the available data sources and points of strength and weaknesses forms the basis of a good search, followed by a scientific evaluation of the quality of the obtained information Our own experience in safety assessment of cosmetics will be the guide through the quest for safety data in practice and the judgment of their quality and relevance Although the focus of this section clearly resides on the search for human toxicity data, the same channels as those mentioned hereunder may equally be explored to search for physicochemical and/or ecotoxicological data 4.2.2 Useful Data Sources a) Types of Data Sources Relevant information can be extracted from worldwide official instances’ websites, industry-governed websites and freely available and commercial databases As far as the latter are concerned, it is important to distinguish between bibliographical databases containing citations from extended lists of periodicals, journals, books, etc., and factual databases containing the actual data on a specific subject Most interesting for our purpose are factual databases comprising fields with physicochemical, toxicological and/or ecotoxicological data, by preference accompanied by plain references Companies such as the Scientific and Technical Network (STN®)1 and Thomson Dialog Datastar2 commercialise sets of bibliographical and factual databases by selling CD-ROMs and/or allowing registered users to consult the databases through the Internet http://www.stn-international.de/ (consulted July 2007) http://www.dialog.com/products/datastar/ (consulted July 2007) Safety Assessment of Cosmetic Ingredients Present in TIFs of Finished Products 97 b) Free Information Sources on the Internet GoogleTM3, Yahoo!®4 and MSN Search5 Coverage: the World Wide Web, generating lists of Internet links that match the entered keyword(s) Comment: • the number of hits gives a general idea on the amount of available data; • reliability of data cannot be guaranteed EUR-Lex6 Coverage: European treaties, legislation, case-law and legislative proposals7, including consolidated versions8 of EU Directives Comment: without the correct search items (literal wording in the legislative texts), it may be unexpectedly hard to retrieve existing information Directorate-General (DG) Enterprise, Cosmetic Section9 Coverage: existing and upcoming cosmetic-related legislation10, discussions on legislative aspects and many useful links Comment: the website has significantly improved over the past years and has become a key tool to follow up the EU cosmetic legislation Directorate-General Health and Consumer Protection (DG SANCO)11 Coverage: overview of EU laws on safety of food and other products, on consumers’ rights and on the protection of people’s health, including links to individual opinions of scientific committees such as the SCCP, previously called SCCNFP12, 13 Comment: an information source of major importance due to the presence of the SCC(NF)P opinions, the website’s practical search value is impaired by the fact that cosmetic ingredients are not necessarily designated by their INCI names European Chemicals Bureau (ECB)14 Coverage: wide range of information related to the EU risk assessment procedures of dangerous substances and preparations, with direct links to consolidated pieces of 10 11 12 13 14 98 http://www.google.be/
