SCCS OPINION on Resorcinol- SCCS/1619/20 - Final Opinion

Maciej Stepnik

Résumé

Conclusion of the opinion: 1/ In light of the data provided and taking under consideration the concerns related to potential endocrine disrupting properties of Resorcinol, does the SCCS consider Resorcinol safe when used as an oxidative hair dye in products intended for hair and eyelashes up to 1.25 % and up to 0.5 % in hair lotions and shampoos? Keeping in view the evidence on endocrine disrupting properties of resorcinol, the SCCS assessment shows that resorcinol is safe when used as an oxidative hair dye in products intended for hair and eyelashes up to 1.25 % and up to 0.5 % in hair lotions and shampoos. 2/ Alternatively, what is according to the SCCS, the maximum concentration considered safe for use of Resorcinol as an oxidative hair dye in products intended for hair and eyelashes and for hair lotions and shampoos? / 3/ Does the SCCS have any further scientific concerns with regard to the use of Resorcinol in cosmetic products? Resorcinol is a moderate skin sensitiser based on data from animal studies. Clinical studies show that the frequency of contact sensitisation in humans is low. The SCCS mandates do not address environmental aspects. Therefore, this assessment did not cover the safety of resorcinol for the environment.
