Mandate
In the context with the
so called « Angelopharm
»-sentence of the European
Court, the EC asked the SCCNFP
for an opinion on the use of
strontium and strontium
salts/derivatives in cosmetic
products, especially Sr
lactate, Sr nitrate, and Sr
polycarboxylate, listed at
present in Annex II of the
Cosmetic Directive 76/768 EEC.
Opinion
Sr and Sr salts should
only be used as ingredients in
cosmetic products in the
chemical form and concentration
having been investigated,
evaluated and recommended by
the SCCNFP and listed under
these premises in the
respective parts of the
Cosmetic Directive 76/768 EEC.
As valid in general for
substances intended to be used
as ingredients of cosmetic
products, also for other Sr
derived compounds, new
submissions, following the
SCCNFP notes of guidance, have
to be presented.
