SCCS Updates Recommended Safe Use Level for Aluminium Compounds in Lipsticks
Over the recent years, there have been concerns about the usage of aluminium in cosmetics and other products such as antiperspirants, toothpaste and lipsticks that come into contact with the human skin. In relation to the same, the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) released its opinion in March 2020. Later on, in December 2020, the SCCS released an addendum in which the recommended safe use level for lipsticks was raised to 14%.
