The use of Triclosan in body lotion is considered safe when its concentration does not exceed 0.03% when used individually or combined with the above-mentioned products.The SCCS is not aware of the use of Triclocarban and Triclosan together in a single product, and therefore this has not been assessed.2. to highlight if there is a potential risk for human health from the use of Triclocarban and Triclosan in cosmetic products/Keywords:SCCS, scientific advice, Triclocarban, Triclosan, Regulation 1223/2009, CAS No. 101-20-2, EC No. 202-924-1, CAS No. 3380-34-5, EC No. 222-182-2Opinion to be cited as:SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), Scientific advice, Request for a scientific advice on the safety of Triclocarban (CAS No. 101-20-2, EC No. 202- 924-1) and Triclosan (CAS No. 3380-34-5, EC No. 222-182-2) as substances with potential endocrine disrupting properties used in cosmetic products, preliminary version of 15-16 March 2022, SCCS/1643/22
