9. Undesirable effects and serious undesirable effects
Responsible person has set up a system to collect document, establish causality and manage the undesirable effects caused by the product.
10. Information on the cosmetic product
No additional information.
Part B: Cosmetic product safety assessment
1. Assessment conclusion
Based on the information provided by the manufacturer and the toxicity data compiled for the ingredients, it can be concluded that the Tan Oil is unlikely to produce abnormally high number of adverse effects if used according to instructions and under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. The product will give users the level of safety that can reasonably be expected.
2. Labelled warnings and instructions of use
För en vackrare solbränna och ett effektivt skydd mot solen använd Tan oil tillsammans med solskyddsmedel med önskad solskyddsfaktor.
3. Reasoning
The Tan Oil is a body oil that contains well-known ingredients extensively used in different cosmetic products. The Tan Oil is a body care oil, which contains beta-carotene that in some studies has shown to give a certain sun protection after repeated use (Köpcke W, Krutmann J. Protection from sunburn with beta-Carotene - a meta-analysis. Photocem Photobiol. 2008 Mar-Apr;84(2):284-8) and also in some studies indicated to give a more attractive tan (Stephen ID, Law Smith MJ, Stirrat MR, Perrett DI. Facial skin coloration affects percieved health of human faces. Int J Primatol. 2009 Dec;30(6):845-857). However, since the sun protection factor (SFP) of the product has not been established in a test, it should be indicated
7
on the product that it should be used as a complement to other sun protection products with established SPFs.
The complied toxicity data on the ingredients do not indicate any specific worries for any of the ingredients (Table 1, Part B). The concentration of beta-carotene is low in the product (0.01%) and is therefore of no concern.
The product does not contain water and is therefore classified as low risk products according to ISO 29621, i.e. challenge testing is not needed. Information on packaging material has been provided. It doesn’t contain any harmful substances. Interaction between the primary packaging material and the product is not expected. The raw material is mainly certified organic, i.e. the content of impurities has been check by certification bodies. Considering the concentrations of impurities that are expected in certified organic raw materials, the concentrations of impurities in the cosmetic product are negligible. The manufacturing of the product should follow a quality controlled standardised procedure.
The SED was calculated for all ingredients and MOS was calculated for the ingredient with available NOAEL value. The calculated MOS value for Rosmarinus offlcinalis leaf extract was over 100, i.e. no reason for concern. The ingredients without NOAEL values were classified as GRAS or considered safe by CIR.

Appendix 1.
Beta-carotene CAS NO 7235-40-7
1. Acute toxicity
No toxic effects were seen when rats, mice, hamsters and dogs were fed repeated high
doses of beta-carotene (Bibra 1991).
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
No data available
3. Eye irritation
beta-Carotene produced transient irritation in the eye of rabbits (Bibra 1991).
4. Skin sensitisation
No data available
5. Dermal/percutaneous absorption
No data available
6. Repeated dose toxicity
No data available
7. Mutagenicity/genotoxicity
Beta-Carotene was not mutagenic in the Ames bacterial test and did not induce
chromosomal damage when fed to mice. Equivocal results have been reported in tests for
DNA damage in bacteria (Bibra 1991).
8. Carcinogenicity
Epidemiological studies have provided fairly convincing support for a link between low dietary
or blood levels of beta-carotene and a higher lung cancer risk. Protection against other
cancer types has been less clearly demonstrated in man. beta-Carotene provoked a
recurrence of symptoms when ingested by patients with dermatitis and one individual
exhibited a skin reaction following local contact. Lifetime feeding studies gave no evidence of
carcinogenicity in rats and mice (Bibra 1991).
9. Reproductive toxicity
Two multi-generation feeding studies in rats revealed no adverse effects, but mild depression
of pup growth and delayed bone development was reported in rat studies in which beta-
carotene was fed to females during pregnancy. No reproductive effects were seen when
pregnant rabbits were given oral doses (Bibra 1991).
10. Endocrine disruptors
No data available
11. Other
Beta-Carotene occurs naturally in the diet. In man, prolonged ingestion of carotene-
containing vegetables or beta-carotene supplements can lead to high levels of beta-carotene
in the body (hypercarotenaemia) and a yellow colouring of the skin. The colouring fades
when dosing is stopped. Whilst there is some indication of subtle influences on the blood, it is
not yet clear whether these can be described as toxic effects (Bibra 1991).
12. Conclusions
The FDA also includes Beta-Carotene on its list of direct food substances Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS) (CosmeticsInfo 2017).
13. NOAEL

Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil CAS NO 8001-23-8
1. Acute toxicity
No data available
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
Undiluted Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil was minimally irritating in a repeat open patch test
using rabbits. Cosmetic formulations containing 3-5% Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil were
not irritating to humans in occlusive patch tests and were not primary irritants in repeated
insult patch tests (CIR 2011).
3. Eye irritation
No data available
4. Skin sensitisation
Undiluted Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil was not a sensitizer in a maximization study using
guinea pigs. Cosmetic formulations containing 3-5% Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil were not
sensitizers in repeated insult patch tests (CIR 2011).

Cocos Nucifera Oil CAS NO 8001-31-8
1. Acute toxicity
Administered as a single 5 g/kg dose to rats, cocos nucifera oil did not caused deaths over a
7-day observation period (CIR 1986).
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
Coconut Oil did not cause skin irritation when applied to rabbit skin in a 24-h single-insult
occlusive patch test. Bar soaps containing 13% Coconut Oil, when tested using standard
Draize procedures, produced very minimal skin reactions. In a 2-week normal use test, bar
soaps caused no unusual irritation response. The results of soap
chamber tests of bar soaps were minimal irritation in one study and mild irritation in another
(CIR 1986).
3. Eye irritation
Results of several studies suggest that the eye irritation potential of Coconut Oil is low (CIR
1986).
4. Skin sensitisation
Coconut Oil did not cause skin irritation when applied to rabbit skin in a 24-h single-insult
occlusive patch test. It was nonsensitizing to the skin in a Magnusson-
Kligman Maximization test (CIR 1986).
5. Dermal/percutaneous absorption
No data available
6. Repeated dose toxicity
In subchronic feeding study of diets containing 25% Coconut Oil, rats had slight fatty change
of the liver but no other pathological changes (CIR 1986).
7. Mutagenicity/genotoxicity
No data available
8. Carcinogenicity
No data available
9. Reproductive toxicity
No data available
10. Endocrine disruptors
No data available
11. Other
No phototoxicity or photosensitivity has een observed (CIR 1986). The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) permits Coconut Oil to be used as a direct food additive as a substitute
for cocoa butter (CosmeticsINFO 2013).
12. Conclusions
The Cocos Nucifera Oil did not produce significant skin or eye irritation. No sensitization was
reported. Clinical assessment of cosmetics and personal care products containing Coconut
Oil and other coconut oil-derived ingredients produced very minimal skin irritation reactions.
There was no indication that these ingredients were primary irritants, sensitizers, or
phototoxic compounds following human testing. The CIR Expert Panel concluded that Cocos
Nucifera Oil was safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products (CIR 1986).

The FDA includes sunflower seed oil and its triglycerides or fatty acids on its list of indirect
food additives. These ingredients may be used as components of resinous and polymeric
coatings having incidental contact with food (CosmeticsINFO 2014).
12. Conclusions
The CIR Expert Panel has evaluated scientific data of sunflower seed oil and its triglycerides
or fatty acids. Based on a history of safe use in food, the composition of the oils, and data
indicating these ingredients were not dermal irritants or sensitizers, the CIR Expert Panel
concluded that they are safe as used in cosmetic products.
Botanical and botanically derived ingredients used in the formulation of cosmetics are
generally mild and safe. There is a considerable body of information about the safety of
Botanical ingredients and a well established history of use (CosmeticsINFO 2014).

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract CAS NO 84604-14-8
1. Acute toxicity
The acute toxicity of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary)-derived ingredients is not very
remarkable. The dermal LD50 of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil is > 10 ml/kg. The oral LD50
of Rosmarinus officinalis leaves is >2 g/kg, of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract is >8.5 g/kg,
and of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil is 5.5 g/kg (CIR 2013).
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
An ointment containing 4.4% Rosmarinus officinali leaf oil, applied at concentrations up to
40%, was not irritating to rat skin. However, in a rabbit study, occlusive application to intact
and abraded skin produced moderate irritation. In an in vitro study using the reconstituted
human epidermis model, rosmarinic acid was not predicted
to be irritating. In clinical testing, Rosmarinus officinalis leaves produced irritation in 44 of 234
patients with contact dermatitis or eczema. Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil, 10% in petrolatum,
was not an irritant in a 48-h closed patch test (CIR 2013).
3. Eye irritation
No data available
4. Skin sensitisation
Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil, 10% in petrolatum, was not a sensitizer in a maximization
study. However, several cases of allergic reactions to Rosmarinus officinalis have been
reported (CIR 2013).
5. Dermal/percutaneous absorption
In an in vitro transdermal permeation study using full-thickness dorsal rat skin, rosmarinic
acid had good permeability through the skin (CIR 2013).
6. Repeated dose toxicity
Doses as high as 14.1 g/kg bw Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract were tested (5 days by
gavage), and studies were performed for up to 3 months (dietary). Increases in absolute and
relative liver-to-body weights were observed in many of the studies, independent of the
extraction method; these changes were shown to be reversible, and no other signs of toxicity
were observed. Oral administration of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil also affected liver
weights. No signs of toxicity were observed when 0.3% rosmarinic acid was fed to mice for 8
wks. In a clinical 21-day study, daily oral treatment with 50 or 200 mg rosmarinic acid did not
produce any adverse effects. The LOEL was 300 mg/kg bw/day s.c. rosmarinic acid (CIR
2013).
7. Mutagenicity/genotoxicity
Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract was not genotoxic when tested in vitro in an Ames test, in
a chromosomal aberration assay in human lymphocytes, or in a gene-locus mutation assay in
human lymphocytes, and it was not genotoxic when tested in vivo in a chromosomal
aberration assay or micronucleus test (CIR 2013).
8. Carcinogenicity
No indications of carcinogenicity (CIR 2013).
9. Reproductive toxicity
No indications of reprotoxicity (CIR 2013).
10. Endocrine disruptors
No data available
11. Other
The FDA includes Rosmarinus officinalis on its list of spices and other natural seasonings
and flavorings considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Rosmarinus officinalis leaf
19
extract and rosmarinic acid have been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity
(CosmeticsINFO 2014).
12. Conclusions
Botanical and botanically-derived ingredients used in the formulation of cosmetics are
generally mild and safe. There is a considerable body of information about the safety of
botanical ingredients and a well-established history of use (CosmeticsINFO 2014).

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil CAS NO 90045-98-0
1. Acute toxicity
Oral mouse and rat LD50 was greater than 5.0 g/kg (CIR 2008, 1992).
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil was non- to slightly irritating when instilled into the
eyes of white rabbits (CIR 2008, 1992).
3. Eye irritation
Undiluted Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil was not a skin irritant. Tests of topical
products containing Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil found them to be nonirritants to
humans. (CIR 2008, 1992).
4. Skin sensitisation
In a maximization test, no sensitization reactions were observed with Jojoba Alcohol. Tests of
topical products containing Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil found them to be
nonsensitizers to humans. Sensitization to undiluted Jojoba Oil was not observed (CIR 2008,
1992).
5. Dermal/percutaneous absorption
Based on the large molecular weight of the components of the Jojoba Oil ingredients, the CIR
Expert Panel concluded that they would not penetrate the skin (CIR 2008, 1992).
6. Repeated dose toxicity
No data available
7. Mutagenicity/genotoxicity
Jojoba Alcohol and mixture of Jojoba Oil and Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil were not mutagenic in

Tocopherol CAS NO 54-28-4 / 16698-35-4 / 10191-41-0 / 119-13-1 / 1406-18-4 / 1406-66-2 / 2074-53-5 / 59-02-9 / 7616-22-0
1. Acute toxicity
In rats, the dermal LD50 is >3 g/kg for tocopherol. The oral LD50 of tocopherol greater than 4
g/kg. In mice, the oral LD50 of tocopherol is >25 ml/kg (CIR 2014).
2. Skin irritation and corrosivity
Tocopherol was not an irritant (CIR 2014).
3. Eye irritation
No data available
4. Skin sensitisation
Tocopherol was not a sensitizer (CIR 2014).
5. Dermal/percutaneous absorption
Dermally applied tocopherols do penetrate the skin (CIR 2014).
6. Repeated dose toxicity
In rats, tocopherol was not toxic in a 60-day study. In a 90-day study, rats dosed orally with
2000 mg/kg d-α-tocopherol died in 9 to 11 wks because of internal hemorrhage; other signs
of toxicity were observed in a dose-dependent manner. High doses of tocopherol has a
hemorrhagic activity (CIR 2014).
7. Mutagenicity/genotoxicity
Anti-mutagenic activity attributed to these compounds was consistent with their antioxidant
properties (CIR 2014).
8. Carcinogenicity
Carcingenicity studies were negative (CIR 2014).
9. Reproductive toxicity
Reproductive toxicity studies were negative
10. Endocrine disruptors
No data available
11. Other
The FDA includes Tocopherol on its list of nutrients considered Generally Recognized As
Safe (GRAS). Tocopherol is also on FDA's list of GRAS food preservatives (CosmeticsINFO
2015).
12. Conclusions
The safety of Tocopherol and related ingredients (Dioleyl Tocopheryl Methylsilanol,
Potassium Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Phosphate, Tocophersolan, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopheryl
Linoleate, Tocopheryl Linoleate/Oleate, Tocopheryl Nicotinate, Tocopheryl Succinate) has
been assessed by the CIR Expert Panel. The CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data
and concluded that Tocopherol and the related ingredients were safe as used in cosmetics
and personal care products (CIR 2014).
