What The Sources Say
SCCS (EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety)3
EU 1223/2009 Annex IV — SCCS opinion: Opinion for clarification of the meaning of the term "sprayable applications/products" for the nano forms of Carbon Black CI 77266
EU 1223/2009 Annex IV — SCCS opinion: Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide
EU 1223/2009 Annex IV — SCCS opinion: Opinionon Carbon Black (nano-form)
IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)1
IARC Group 2B — Possibly carcinogenic to humans. Limited evidence in humans and insufficient evidence in experimental animals (or vice versa). (Monograph volume: Sup 7, 65, 93). Caveat: IARC classifies HAZARD, not RISK — it says 'can cause cancer under some conditions', not 'causes cancer at cosmetic use levels'. Route and dose must be assessed separately. Data is a 01/2021 snapshot.
