Doi: 10.2772/67588
Adopted on: 18 June 2013
Conclusion of the opinion:
Although modern approaches were submitted by the applicant to demonstrate the safety of the substance, these approaches were associated with many uncertainties, even contradictions in such that they have not been used for risk assessment by the SCCS. Based on the scientific data provided the SCCS considers that zinc pyrithione, when used in a concentration up to 2.0% as an anti-dandruff agent in rinse-off hair care products, is safe for the consumer. Aggregate exposure to Zinc Pyrithione from non-cosmetic sources has not been considered. The SCCS recommends thorough post-marketing surveillance of the product.
