Abstract:
The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) reviewed the safety of 5 titanium complexes as used in cosmetic products; these ingredients have the following reported functions in cosmetics: surface modifier (Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate); colorant; humectant (Titanium Citrate); binder (Titanium Ethoxide); film former; opacifying agent (Titanium Isostearates); and preservative (Titanium Salicylate). The Panel reviewed relevant data relating to the safety of these ingredients in cosmetic formulations and issued the following separate conclusions. Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate is safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in the safety assessment, when used as a surface modifier. The data are insufficient to determine the safety of Titanium Citrate, Titanium Ethoxide, Titanium Isostearates, and Titanium Salicylate.
