Abstract
The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) considered whether the safety of PEG Stearate ingredients as used in cosmetics should be reassessed. These ingredients are reported to function primarily as surfactants and emollients. The Panel reviewed newly available animal and human data related to these ingredients. The Panel concluded that the PEG Stearates are safe as cosmetic ingredients in the practices of use and concentrations described in the safety assessment.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Toxicology publishes timely, peer-reviewed papers on current topics important to toxicologists. Six bi-monthly issues cover a wide range of topics, including contemporary issues in toxicology, safety assessments, novel approaches to toxicological testing, mechanisms of toxicity, biomarkers, and risk assessment. The Journal also publishes invited reviews on contemporary topics, and features articles based on symposia. In addition, supplemental issues are routinely published on various special topics, including three supplements devoted to contributions from the Cosmetic Review Expert Panel.
