During our COSMETICK webinar on cosmetic safety assessment, toxicologists raised key questions on endocrine disruption, Margin of Safety (MOS), and toxicological data gaps.

The identification of endocrine disruptors (EDs) has become a key challenge for many industries. With increasing regulatory requirements and the growing number of substance lists evaluated by authorities, obtaining a clear and rapid overview of a substance’s status has become increasingly complex.

The recent amendment to the European Cosmetic Regulation significantly expands the list of fragrance allergens that must be declared on the INCI label (Regulation (EU) No 2023/1545 updating certain entries of Annex III of the EU Cosmetic Regulation).  In the original version of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, 26 allergens were subject to mandatory labelling.

COSMETICK is a toxicological and ecotoxicological profile database, combined with a digital cosmetic risk assessment tool. It is designed to support toxicologists and safety assessors in the preparation of Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR), as well as in the safety assessment of ingredients, impurities, raw materials and fragrance compounds or fragrance concentrates.
