The SCCP is of the opinion that 1,5-Naphthalenediol as an ingredient in oxidative and non-oxidative hair dye formulations at a maximum on-head concentration of 1% does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer, apart from its sensitising potential.
Key concerns: Sensitising potential. No mutagenic potential in vivo; genotoxicity/mutagenicity studies in finished formulations should be undertaken per SCCNFP/SCCP opinions and Notes of Guidance.
