After consultation of the Scientific Committee on Cosmetology,
Whereas the available scientific data indicate that the polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) level in refined coal tar are in the same range as the PAHs level in crude coal tar; whereas several studies show that PAHs enter the skin exposed to coal tars, which may lead to dermal and systemic carcinogenesis; whereas numerous PAHs are genotoxic carcinogens, and consequently no safe level can be established, the use of crude and refine coal tars in cosmetic products should be prohibited;

Whereas, on the basis of the latest scientific and technical research, octyl methoxycinnamate may be used as an UV filter in cosmetic products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directive on the removal of technical barriers to trade in the cosmetics products sector,
Directive 76/768/EEC is hereby amended as shown in the Annex.
