The SCCS considers Acetophenone safe, when present as a constituent of natural complex substances that are used in cosmetic products, provided that its concentration does not exceed 100 ppm (0.01%) in the finished cosmetic product. In light of the data provided and taking into consideration the possible classification as ‘Repr.1B’ under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation), the SCCS considers Acetophenone safe when present up to a maximum concentration of 100 ppm (0.01%) in cosmetic products, taking also into account sources of exposure other than cosmetics (food, tobacco smoking).
