Final Report of the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel Safety Assessment of Silica and Related Cosmetic Ingredients
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a safety assessment of silica and the related cosmetic ingredients: alumina magnesium metasilicate, aluminum calcium sodium silicate, aluminum iron silicates, hydrated silica, and sodium potassium aluminum silicate. These ingredients are synthetic amorphous silicas and silicates; crystalline silica is not a cosmetic ingredient and is not used in cosmetics. These ingredients are used as bulking agents and for various other functions. The human and animal safety data relevant to the cosmetic use of these ingredients were assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The Panel concluded that these ingredients are safe as cosmetic ingredients in the practices of use and concentrations as described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-respirable.
