Expert Verdict
Critical data gap. No CIR, SCCS, or published safety data found. Fish collagen and protein hydrolysates have general safety support, but eel-specific data is absent. Eel blood contains ichthyotoxin (toxic protein) which should be denatured by hydrolysis at adequate temperature and time, but no published verification exists for cosmetic-grade material. Supplier toxicology package, heavy metal certificate of analysis, species confirmation, ichthyotoxin residual testing, and allergen labeling documentation required.
