Executive Summary
A report developed by an International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulation working group on trace 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic products will be the subject of an opinion expected from the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety in March. If it sticks with its informal position offered on the report in 2013, SCCS may reject a proposed 25 ppm interim maximum on the substance, recommending that a 10 ppm limit be imposed.
