New Substances In ECHA Liste - Cosmetics

The ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) has recently published an updated list of substances or substance groups that may require regulation. It is important to note that this step does not necessarily lead to a re-evaluation. Rather, this list (Assessment of Regulatory Needs) provides an outlook on possible future regulations.

Newly added were, among others:

Long-chain, aliphatic, quaternary ammonium compounds
Certain bromide salts
Quaternized alcohol amines and their esters
Inorganic carboxylates
Esters of aliphatic, monocyclic alcohols

These potential restrictions then apply to cosmetics, but also to other consumer products.
