Commission Directive 2007/22/EC
of 17 April 2007
amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purposes of adapting Annexes IV and VI thereto to technical progress
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products,
Whereas:
(1) The Scientific Committee on Cosmetic and Non-Food Products intended for consumers, replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products, (SCCP), by Commission Decision 2004/210/EC(2), delivered an opinion regarding the safe use of the preservative iodopropynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) in cosmetic products concluding that the daily bioavailable intake of iodine from cosmetic products should not exceed 20 % of the recommended daily intake of 150 μg and that IPBC should not be used in oral hygiene and lip care products.
(2) Considering that the list of preservatives authorised in cosmetic products should not be too limited, but that the exposure to iodine from IPBC should not be too high, the existing entry 56 to Annex VI should be amended accordingly.
(3) Sodium iodate and colorant CI 45425 contain iodine and are currently respectively listed under Annex VI as authorised preservative and under Annex IV as authorised colorant. In view of the absence of interest from stakeholders to defend the use of these substances and the opinion of the SCCP regarding the necessity to reduce the exposure to iodine from cosmetic products, the authorisations should be withdrawn.
(4) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
