Opinion on decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (cyclopentasiloxane, D5) in cosmetic products

Metadata o publikaci

Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) (CAS n. 541-02-6, EC 208-764-9) is widely used in cosmetic products due to its unique functions as antistatic, emollient, humectant, solvent, viscosity controlling and hair conditioning agent. In June 2010, the Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety (SCCS) assessed the consumers risks associated with the use of D5 in combination with D4 (Cyclomethicone, Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane CAS 556-67-2), a substance that has been classified as a CMR 2 substance (R2) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Being an old CMR (i.e. its classification applied before 1 December 2010), the regime of automatic ban as from the date of application of its classification, except where a derogation is granted, does not apply to this substance. In its opinion (SCCS/1241/10), the SCCS concluded that: "[…] cyclomethicone (D4, D5) does not pose a risk for human health when used in cosmetic products. Other uses were not considered in this risk assessment. This conclusion is based on the currently available in-use concentrations as cited in this opinion. The Commission Services should consider whether an environmental risk assessment associated with the use of cyclomethicone (D4/D5) in cosmetic products is required." Upon request of the European Commission, in January 2014 Cosmetic Europe submitted a safety assessment specifically dedicated to D5 in cosmetic products. This submission is intended to demonstrate the safety of this ingredient when used in cosmetic leave-on, rinse-off and spray type products
