    Abstract

    Conclusion of the opinion: The SCCS considers a maximum level of 0.01% Tagetes minuta and Tagetes patula extracts and essential oils in leave-on products (except sunscreen cosmetic products) as safe, provided that the alpha terthienyl (terthiophene) content of the Tagetes extracts and oils does not exceed 0.35%.

    The Tagetes extracts and oils should not be used as ingredients of sunscreen products. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.
