Phenylene Bis-Diphenyltriazine

Background

Following submission I on Phenylene Bis-Diphenyltriazine to assess its safety for use in cosmetic products, the SCCS concluded in its Opinion in July 2015 (SCCS/1556/15) that:
‘The SCCS considers Phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine, S86, not safe for use as a UV-filter in sunscreen products in a concentration up to 10.0% taking into account the scientific data provided.’ In March 2017, in light of the opinion SCCS/1556/15, the cosmetics company Pierre Fabre transmitted a new safety dossier (submission II) on Phenylene Bis-Diphenyltriazine that addresses the major issues raised by the SCCS notably i) additional physico‐chemical characterization studies, ii) additional toxicity studies in line with the required guidelines (studies were performed according GLP) and iii) finally the file was rewritten focusing on the active ingredient to be more in line with normal practice.
