Conclusion of the opinion:

The assessment of Acid Black 1 was for its use in non-oxidative hair dye formulations only. The SCCS is of the opinion that the use of Acid Black 1 as a non-oxidative hair dye with a concentration on head of maximum 0.5% does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer. The use of Acid Black 1 (CI 20470) as a cosmetic colorant should be reassessed.
