Adopted on: 28 February 2024
Conclusion of the opinion:
(1) In light of the data provided concerning inhalation toxicity, does the SCCS consider Acetylated Vetiver Oil (AVO) safe when used in sprayable cosmetic products with intended maximum concentrations (IMCs) of 0.9% (w/w) in fragrance pump sprays, 0.05% (w/w) in deodorant sprays and 0.1% (w/w) in hairsprays and body lotion sprays?
Having considered the data provided concerning inhalation toxicity and aggregate exposure, the SCCS considers Acetylated Vetiver Oil (AVO) (with 1% alpha-tocopherol) safe when used at the intended maximum concentrations (IMCs) of 0.9% (w/w) in fragrance pump sprays, 0.05% (w/w) in deodorant sprays and 0.1% (w/w) in hairsprays and body lotion sprays. The findings of an in vitro study using Mucilair™ also support this conclusion.
(2) Does the SCCS have any further scientific concerns regarding the use of Acetylated Vetiver Oil (AVO) in cosmetic products?
