چکیده
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (the Panel) assessed the safety of nitrocellulose and collodion as used in cosmetics, concluding that these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration in cosmetic formulations. Both ingredients are used almost exclusively in nail product formulations. The maximum concentration of use of nitrocellulose in nail polish and enamels is 22%; for collodion, the maximum reported concentration of use in nail polish and enamel is 14%. The Panel reviewed available animal and clinical data in making its determination of safety.

Electrospinning was applied to nitrocellulose (NC) solutions in DMF, DMSO and Ethyl methyl keton to obtain NC nanofibers. Electrospraying process was observed when DMF was used as solvent. In comparison to NC/DMF, NC/DMSO solution resulted in the formation of a coating film as indicate by SEM. Two different electrospun nanofibers, smooth nanofibers wit...
متن کاملTHE STRUCTURE OF THE COLLODION MEMBRANE AND ITS ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOR III. THE BASE EXCHANGE PROPERTmS OZ COLLODION Bx KARL SOLLNER, CHARLES W. CARP., AND IRVING ABRAMS
In preceding papers *-3 it was shown that electrochemical behavior of collodion membranes (at least in solutions of strong, weakly adsorbable electrolytes) is due to the presence of acidic impurities in the collodion. Highly purified preparations exhibit only low electrochemical activity (as measured by concentration potentials, anomalous osmosis, etc.), and in our opinion, even this low activi...
متن کاملSafety assessment of modified terephthalate polymers as used in cosmetics.
The safety of 6 modified terephthalate polymers as cosmetic ingredients was assessed. These ingredients mostly function as exfoliants, bulking agents, hair fixatives, and viscosity-increasing agents-nonaqueous. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used in leave-on products up to 100% and in rinse-off products up to 2%. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (Panel) considered that the PET u...
