The SCCS has just published its second Opinion on the safety of the UV-filter Methoxypropylamino cyclohexenylidene ethoxyethylcyanoacetate (S87). It has been adopted during its plenary meeting of 26 February 2019 and is opened to comments until 13 May 2019.
Background
In July 2017 the SCCS adopted an Opinion on Methoxypropylamino Cyclohexenylidene Ethoxyethylcyanoacetate (S87) (CAS 1419401-88-9) (SCCS/1587/17), with the following conclusion:
