EDQM has published the second edition of “Guidance on essential oils in #cosmeticproducts” to help ensure the #safety of cosmetic products in line with European and national cosmetic legislative frameworks. Cosmetic products are often marketed as containing #naturalingredients, including #essentialoils distilled from plants, as a sign of their good quality. Nevertheless, essential oils may have a high sensitising potential for consumers and therefore pose serious #healthrisks. The protection of vulnerable populations such as children or sensitised individuals is particularly important. Sensitisation can occur by skin contact or by inhalation, such as in aromatherapeutic use. 👉The second edition of this guide contains up-to-date #qualitycriteria and recommendations for the manufacture and #safetyassessment of cosmetic products containing natural ingredients. Revised under the aegis of the European Committee for Cosmetics and Consumer Health (CD-P-COS), it includes: ✅ an overview of the current regulatory context and guidance; ✅quality criteria, from raw materials to production, for essential oils; ✅evaluation of risk-assessment approaches to safety data and toxicological thresholds; ✅practical recommendations regarding safety assessment.

Did you know that Red No. 3 was banned from cosmetics in 1990 due to cancer concerns? Despite this, it remained in foods and ingested drugs. However, the FDA has now decided to revoke its authorization based on studies highlighting potential health risks. Red No. 3, a synthetic dye made from petroleum, has been linked to cancer in laboratory rats. The Delaney Clause mandates the FDA to ban any additive found to cause cancer in humans or animals, leading to this decision. Manufacturers have until January 15, 2027, for food products and January 18, 2028, for ingested drugs to reformulate their products. This includes those importing to the U.S. Consumers may notice changes in the appearance of certain foods and medications as manufacturers transition to safer alternatives. This change aims to enhance safety and reduce potential health risks. At Advanced Powder Solutions, we are committed to helping manufacturers navigate this transition smoothly. Our expertise in process development ensures a healthier choice for consumers. Let's work together for a safer future!
