| --- | --- |

(6)

Methyl Salicylate is used as a fragrance ingredient, flavouring agent and soothing agent in various cosmetic products and is currently not listed in the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

| (7) | In accordance with Article 15(1), second sentence, of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, CMR substances of category 2 may be used in cosmetic products where the substance has been evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) and found safe for use in such products. |

The SCCS concluded in its opinion of 26–27 October 2021 (4) that Methyl Salicylate can be considered safe as an ingredient in cosmetic products up to the maximum concentrations provided by the applicant. In light of the classification of Methyl Salicylate as a CMR substance of category 2 and the SCCS opinion in its final version, Methyl Salicylate should be added to the list of substances restricted in cosmetic products in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

| (9) | With regard to all substances other than Methyl Salicylate, which were classified as CMR substances pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/849, no request for use in cosmetic products by way of exception has been submitted. Consequently, the CMR substances that are not already listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should be added to the list of substances prohibited in cosmetic products in that Annex. |
| --- | --- |

(9)

With regard to all substances other than Methyl Salicylate, which were classified as CMR substances pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/849, no request for use in cosmetic products by way of exception has been submitted. Consequently, the CMR substances that are not already listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should be added to the list of substances prohibited in cosmetic products in that Annex.

| (10) | The substance Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate (CAS No 70161-44-3) was classified as carcinogenic of category 1B and mutagenic of category 2 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182 (5). It follows from notes 8 and 9 to that classification that it is only applicable if it cannot be shown that the maximum theoretical concentration of releasable formaldehyde, irrespective of the source, in the mixture as placed on the market is less than 0,1 %. In Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/1902 (6), ‘Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate’ was erroneously added as entry 1669 in the list of prohibited substances in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, despite the fact that it was already listed in entry 51 of Annex V to that Regulation under the chemical name/INN ‘Sodium hydroxymethylamino acetate’ as a preservative allowed in cosmetic products under certain conditions. A substance should not be listed in both Annex II and Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and entry 1669 should therefore be deleted from Annex II to that Regulation. |

The substance Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate (CAS No 70161-44-3) was classified as carcinogenic of category 1B and mutagenic of category 2 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182 (5). It follows from notes 8 and 9 to that classification that it is only applicable if it cannot be shown that the maximum theoretical concentration of releasable formaldehyde, irrespective of the source, in the mixture as placed on the market is less than 0,1 %.

A substance should not be listed in both Annex II and Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and entry 1669 should therefore be deleted from Annex II to that Regulation.

| (11) | The additional condition that was introduced in column h of entry 51 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 by Regulation (EU) 2021/1902 concerning the maximum theoretical concentration of formaldehyde was erroneously given a slightly different wording than the condition set out in notes 8 and 9 to the CMR classification of ‘Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate’. In order to correctly reflect the prohibition of that substance in cosmetic products on the basis of the CMR classification, the wording of the conditions should be the aligned and entry 51 should be adapted accordingly. |

In order to correctly reflect the prohibition of that substance in cosmetic products on the basis of the CMR classification, the wording of the conditions should be the aligned and entry 51 should be adapted accordingly.

| (12) | Entry 51 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 also contains an error in column b with regard to the chemical name of the substance. The correct name of the substance is ‘Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate’, as referred to in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182. |
