| Opinion | Date | Conclusion | Max Conc. | Concerns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCCS/1403/10 | 22 June 2010 | safe with restrictions | up to 10% | Acute inhalation toxicity data submitted and evaluated; dermally applied cosmetics safe at 10%; subsequent regulatory review of spray use recommended |
| SCCS/1346/10 | 2010-06-22 | In the present assessment, using a weight of evident approach, the SCCS concludes that the use of Polisilicone-15 at a concentration of 0.1% in pressurized hairsprays does not constitute a risk for the consumer. | 0.1% in pressurized hairsprays (previously 10% as UV absorber, dermal only) | Assessment focused on inhalation exposure from hairsprays; MOE of 5700 considered sufficient (no risk after inhalation of 0.1% in pressurized hairspray). Prior 1999 SCCNFP conclusion: safe as UV light absorber up to 10% (dermal exposure only). |
