Abstract
The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) assessed the safety of Levulinic Acid and Sodium Levulinate as used in cosmetic formulations. These ingredients are both reported to function in cosmetics as skin conditioning agents, while Levulinic Acid is also reported to function as a fragrance ingredient. The Panel reviewed relevant data relating to the safety of these ingredients in cosmetic formulations, and concluded that these ingredients are safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-irritating.
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.
