Conclusion of the opinion:

The relevance, adequacy and quality of the data presented in a dossier are of utmost importance in relation to the smooth and transparent evaluation of safety of nanomaterials used in cosmetic products. In this regard, the key message in this Memorandum is that the data provided in a dossier in support of nanomaterial safety must be relevant to the types of nanomaterials under evaluation, sufficiently complete, and of appropriate standards to allow adequate risk assessment. Further details on the aspects to be considered in relation to safety assessment of nanomaterials in cosmetic products are provided in the SCCS Nano-Guidance (SCCS/1484/12).
