Regulatory & Compliance

Technical Details & Test Data

Statements and Confirmations

California Prop. 65 list

LIPOXOL MED grades contains the following chemicals found on the California Proposition 65 list of chemicals published by the Governor of California:

  • 1,4-Dioxane (max. 1 mg/kg)  
  • Ethylene oxide (max. 1 mg/kg)
  • Formaldehyde (max. 30 mg/kg)
  • Ethylene glycol (max. 620 mg/kg)

Cosmetic

Assuming the use of the raw materials and manufacturing process currently employed the LIPOXOL MED grades fulfills the requirements regarding the annexes of the regulation No. (EC) 1223/2009 with the exception of very small amounts of free Ethylene oxide (≤ 1 ppm), Formaldehyde (≤ 30 ppm) and 1,4-Dioxane (≤ 1 ppm) which are characteristic for this type of product.

With regard to the Diethylene glycol content which is limited to max. 0.1% for the ready to use cosmetic product (Annex III) please consider the Diethylene glycol content of the relevant LIPOXOL MED type

CMR

We hereby confirm that, to the best of our present knowledge, assuming the use of the raw materials and manufacturing process currently employed, LIPOXOL MED does not contain any CMR-substances classified as CMR category 1A, 1B an 2 in accordance with regulation No. (EC) 1272/2008 and its adaptations, with the exception of very small amounts of free Ethylene oxide (≤ 1 ppm), Formaldehyde (≤ 30 ppm) and 1,4-Dioxane (≤ 1 ppm) which are characteristic for this type of product.
