Ingredient Purity:
Approved cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food grade ingredients are used. Where specific
purity criteria (e.g. secondary amine content, heavy metals content) apply (as detailed in
Ingredient toxicity profiles and MOS calculations section) these remain the responsibility of
the responsible person.
Microbiological Purity:
The final marketed product is anhydrous and does not support microbial growth under
normal storage conditions.
The product is not specifically marketed as a product for use by children under 3 years, in the
3. Packaging
Bubblewrap and tissue paper. No specific requirements (e.g. absence of nitrosating agents).
Cosmetic grade packaging materials must be used.
4. Warnings
The product is intended for use as bath bomb (diluted in bath water) for topical application.
Rinse off product.
The product is intended for external use only and is not marketed for infant use, or for
application to mucous membranes or the eye area.
6. Target Population
Marketed as products for general population – not specifically marketed for infant use.
None declared at the time of preparation of this document – a separate file must be made
to record any declared incidences of undesirable effects – any serious undesirable effects
must be notified to the competent authority and or local poison control agency.
No specific medicinal claims are made. All constituents have been used widely in
cosmetic preparations – no newly introduced or novel ingredients are used.
Exposure is by dermal absorption only under foreseeable conditions of use – a retention factor of 1 % has been used for all ingredients (rinse
off products) and calculations are based on typical exposure values (RIVM report 320104001/2006 Cosmetics Fact Sheet. H.J. Bremmer, L.C.H.
Prud’homme de Lodder, J.G.M. van Engelen).

A Low or limited toxicological significance – edible origin or with determined NOAEL values >1000 mg kg bw-1d-1 Cramer class I – no
structural alerts – no determined CMR activity
Examples – Edible oils and fats, water, bulking minerals, saponified oils and fats
SED < 10.0 mg kg bw-1d-1 = MOS >100
B Limited toxicological significance – functional components with determined NOAEL values 100-500 mg kg bw-1d-1 Cramer Class I /
Cramer class II – no structural alerts - no determined CMR activity
Examples – Surfactants, emulsifiers, conditioning agents
SED <1 mg kg bw-1d-1 = MOS >100
C Moderate toxicological significance – active components with determined NOAEL Values 50 – 100 mg kg bw-1d-1 Cramer Class I / Cramer
class II – potential structural alerts – no determined CMR activity at concentrations used in formulation
Examples – Essential oils* and fragrance ingredients, plant extractsǂ
SED <0.5 – 1.0 mg kg bw-1d-1 = MOS >100
TTC values
Human exposure thresholds of 1800, 540, and 90 μg/person/d (corresponding to 30, 9,
and 1.5 μg/kg bw/d) were proposed for Cramer Class I, II and III, respectively, using the
5th percentile value of distribution of NOELs for each class of chemicals, a body weight of
60 kg, and a safety factor of 100 (Munro et al., 1996). When organophosphates were
excluded from Class III, the human exposure threshold increased to 180 μg/person/d
(3.0 μg/kg bw/d; Munro et al., 2008). Due to high potential toxicity, a specific TTC of 18
μg/person/d may be applicable for organophosphates.

on Cosmetics and Consumer Products
1. Assessment Conclusion
This product meets the criteria for safety specified by the requirements of Article 3 of
REGULATION (EC) No 1223/2009.
No specific warnings required other than standard product usage instructions – for external
use only - not to be used around the eyes, mucous membranes or on broken skin. If
irritation occurs discontinue use.
If the product is used around the eye area, warning must be given to avoid direct eye contact.
No other specific instructions for use are prescribed.
Allergen declaration
In a rinse off product, any of the 26 allergens detailed in the European Commission Directive
2003/15/EC, that are present in the final product at a concentration greater than or equal to
0.01% must be declared on the product labelling.
Appropriate data were available for all components and a full review of this information
has been made. The following information was reviewed as a minimum requirement
And specifically
Margins of safety have been calculated for all components, with additional safety factors
applied where appropriate due to the use of data from structurally related compounds.
Where NOAEL equals no observed adverse effect level in mg/kg/bw from appropriate
repeated dose studies.
MOS values for all toxicologically significant components (other than those whose
presence is governed / prescribed specifically by the Annexes of Regulation (EC) No
1223/2009 ) have been calculated and are satisfactory (MOS >100)
