Hello,

I have a doubt about the new SCCS Opinion on the Safety of Silver of the
20th June, published the 3rd July
(https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/sccs-opinion-safety-silver-casec
-no-7440-22-4231-131-3-used-cosmetic-products_en).

Is Silver considered not safe, no matter the size of the particles, and no
matter the concentration? Even if the MoS is over 100?

Since the conclusion of the Opinion says the following:

"In light of the data provided and taking under consideration the
classification as toxic for reproduction Cat. 2, the SCCS considers
micron-sized particulate Silver not safe at concentrations up to 0.2 % in
rinse-off and 0.3 % in leave-on cosmetic products when used alone or in
combination."

Could we consider that a concentration over those stated can be considered
safe?

 Kind regards,
