(numeri CAS/CE 13463-67-7/236-675-5, 1317-70-0/215-280- 1, 1317-80-2/215-282-2)
(1) In light of the EFSA Opinion on genotoxicity concerns for E171, does the SCCS consider Titanium dioxide safe in oral cosmetic products?
(2) In light of the EFSA Opinion, does the SCCS consider that previous Opinions issued by the SCCS on inhalation and dermal exposure to Titanium dioxide need to be revised?
In the event that the estimated exposure to Titanium dioxide from cosmetic products is found to be of concern, SCCS is asked to recommend safe concentration limits for each
category of products and types of use.
