SCCS/1309/102010-09-21Based on the data provided, the SCCS is of the opinion that the use of HC Yellow n° 2 with a maximum on-head concentration of 0.75% in oxidative and of 1.0% in non-oxidative hair dye formulations does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer.0.75% on-head (oxidative); 1.0% on-head (non-oxidative)A possible sensitising potential cannot be excluded. Secondary amine prone to nitrosation/nitrosamine formation; must not be used with nitrosating substances; nitrosamine content < 50 ppb.
