Résumé : |
A press release was issued by the European Commission in Brussels on 26 September 2014 restricting the use of three preservatives in cosmetic products. The commission stated the restrictions: “further strengthened the protection of consumers, in particular babies and young children.” New limitations and restrictions have been placed on propylparaben, butylparaben and the mixture of methylchloroisothioazolinone (and) methylisothiazolinone (MCl/Ml) in cosmetics products. In explaining the importance of the review and decision, Neven Mimica, European Commissioner for Consumer Policy stated: "We have shown once again that the safety of consumers is paramount in every decision we take. Preservatives in cosmetics serve a valuable function ensuring that the products we use on a daily basis are free from pathogens. We need however to ensure that the preservatives guarantee the maximum degree of protection. With these measures consumers can be reassured that their cosmetics are safe". The Commission took the decision following risk assessments carried out by the independent Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). This advisory body carried out a careful assessment of the substances before recommending their restriction or ban to the Commission for consideration. |
