Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters As Used in Cosmetics PINK Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics CIR EXPERT PANEL MEETING DECEMBER 10-11, 2012 Memorandum To: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons From: Monice M. Fiume MMF Senior Scientific Analyst/Writer Date: November 16, 2012 Subject: Amended Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics Enclosed in the Amended Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics. The status of this document is draft tentative amended report for CIR Expert Panel Review. This report was tabled at the September meeting so that historical use data from reports on ingredients previously reviewed by CIR could be added to the safety assessment. You will find these data incor- porated into Table 8. Incorporation of the historical data into the table allows the Panel a side-by-side comparison of the concentration reported when determining safety in the original safety assessments compared to the use data submitted with the current re-review. Increases in reported concentrations are highlighted. Also at the September meeting, the Panel deleted 16 alkyl ethylhexanoates from the report. Concern about the possible fetotoxicity of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a possible metabolite of the ethylhexanoates, led to a determination that these ingredients are not “no brainers” and therefore, the ethylhexanoates should not be included in this review. The following unpublished data have been received since the last review. These data, which are included under the data tab of this submission, have been incorporated. 1. Personal Care Products Council. 2012. Updated concentration of use by FDA product category: alkyl esters and ethylhexanoates; 2. Personal Care Products Council. 2012. Updated concentration of use by FDA product category: cetyl esters; 3. Product Investigations, Inc. 2008. Determination of the irritating and sensitizing propensities of a product on human skin (body oil containing 77.9% Ethylhexyl Palmitate); 4. Clinical Research Laboratories. 2009. Repeated insult patch test of eyebrow pencil containing 38.8% Ethylhexyl Stearate; 5. Product Investigations, Inc. 2008. Determination of the irritating and sensitizing propensities of a product on human skin (lip gloss containing 25.9% Ethylhexyl Stearate); 6. Consumer Product Testing Co. 2005. Repeated insult patch test of a concealer containing 29.5% Isocetyl Myristate; 7. Clinical Research Laboratories. 2011. Repeated insult patch test of lipstick containing 15.2% Cetyl Ricinoleate. Again, the data profile is being provided in order by chain length and chemical structure and by alphabetical order. The data profile on the component alcohol and acids is included between the two. As a final note, please be aware that the Supplemental books from the March meeting that provided the original CIR safety assessments will be available on the CIR website. It is expected the Panel will issue a Tentative Amended Report at this meeting.

An additional 200 alkyl esters were presented as potential add-on ingredients. The Panel stated that 52 ingredients (that were included for supporting data but not included for review in the safety assessment) that have been reviewed or re-reviewed previously should also be included in the safety assessment. The Panel considered an additional 6 ingredients that might have been included, but determined that it was not appropriate. The ingredients that will not be included (for the following reasons) are: decyl hempseedate (hempseedate has not been reviewed); hexyldecyl ester of hydrolyzed collagen (lack of chemical similarity); lauryl Carpotroche brasiliensis seedate; lauryl Theobroma grandiflorum seedate; myristyl Carpotroche brasiliensis seedate; and myristyl Theobroma grandiflorum seedate (these four ingredients have reported function as skin bleaching agents). A concern was expressed regarding the lack of data on biotransformation of branched fatty acids and branched alcohols in the skin. September 10-11, 2012: Tentative Amended Report The safety assessment was revised since the March meeting to include the additional 52 ingredients. Additionally, another unreviewed alkyl ester (Cetyl Myristoleate) was identified and added. The additions resulted in a family of 254 ingredients being evaluated in this safety assessment. Concentration of use data were received from industry and incorporated. Frequency of use data were updated using the May 2012 VCRP submission. The Panel deleted the 16 ethylhexanoates from the report; a discussion of the fact that cetearyl ethylhexanoate is now used at higher concentrations than previously reported and the fetotoxicity of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a possible metabolite, led to the determination that these ingredients are not “no brainers.” These ingredients will be reviewed separately. The report was tabled for a more direct comparison of historic vs. current use for some of the previously reviewed ingredients, and to determine whether existing data support that higher concentration. December 10-11, 2012: Tentative Amended Report The ethylhexanoates have been removed and the historic use data have been added to the report. The following unpublished data have been received and added to the report: 1. Personal Care Products Council. 2012. Updated concentration of use by FDA product category: alkyl esters and ethylhexanoates; 2. Personal Care Products Council. 2012. Updated concentration of use by FDA product category: cetyl esters; 3.

  • “Inert” Ingredients Used in Organic Production
    “Inert” Ingredients Used in Organic Production Terry Shistar, PhD A Beyond Pesticides Report he relatively few registered pesticides allowed in organic production are contained in product formulations with so-called “inert” ingredients that are not disclosed on the T product label. The “inerts” make up the powder, liquid, granule, or spreader/sticking agents in pesticide formulations. The “inerts” are typically included in products with natural or synthetic active pesticide ingredients recommended by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) and listed by the National Organic Program (NOP) on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. Any of the pesticides that meet the standards of public health and environmental protection and organic compatibility in the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) may contain “inert” ingredients. Because the standards of OFPA are different from those used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate pesticides and given changes in how the agency categorizes inerts, the NOSB has adopted a series of recommendations since 2010 that established a substance review process as part of the sunset review. NOP has not followed through on the Board’s recommendations and, as a result, there are numerous materials in use that have not been subject to OFPA criteria. This report (i) traces the history of the legal requirements for review by the NOSB, (ii) identifies the universe of toxic and nontoxic materials that make of the category of “inerts” used in products permitted in organic production, and (iii) suggests a path forward to ensure NOSB compliance with OFPA and uphold the integrity of the USDA organic label.

Solvent data is usually characterized by its high variability, different molecular symmetry, and spatial orientation. Methods of chemometrics can usefully be used to extract and explore accurately the information contained in such data. In this order, advanced fuzzy divisive hierarchical-clustering methods were efficiently applied in the present study of a large group of solvents using specific descriptors. The fuzzy divisive hierarchical associative-clustering algorithm provides not only a fuzzy partition of the solvents investigated, but also a fuzzy partition of descriptors considered. In this way, it is possible to identify the most specific descriptors (in terms of higher, smallest, or intermediate values) to each fuzzy partition (group) of solvents.

    A Chemical Analysis of Flavor Differences in Chocolate Coconut Rum Porter A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the field of Chemical Engineering Sponsored by: Purgatory Beer Company 670 Linwood Ave, Whitinsville, MA 01588 Authors: Joseph Crognale Tyler Donovan Shane O’Dell Advised by: Professor Stephen Kmiotek This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract The origin of the batch-to-batch inconsistency in flavor of Purgatory Beer Company’s Fiero Coconut Rum porter was investigated by extracting organic compounds from desirable and undesirable batches of porter and quantifying them using GC-MS. The concentration and occurrence of key flavor compounds were compared between the samples and showed that the undesirable batch contained more unpleasant organoleptic compounds and was more acidic. Based on the marked inconsistency in chemical profile between batches, the team recommended quality control be improved through more accurate monitoring and consistent control of the fermentation temperature, oxygenation of wort and beer, order of ingredient addition to the fermentation broth, reuse

In prior publications the research priorities used by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), and the methods of exposure estimation used by industry have been summarized. This paper provides details of the approach used by the RIFM Expert Panel (REXPAN), to examine the dermal effects, systemic toxicity and environmental consequences of the use of and exposure to fra- grance materials, which allow a reliable determination of safe use under intended conditions. The key to the usefulness of this analysis is the grouping of more than 2600 discrete ingredients into classes, based on chemical structures. Research sponsored by RIFM, data supplied by member companies, and relevant published reports from many sources are all considered during hazard characterization.

  • Predicting Abraham Model Solvent Coefficients Jean-Claude Bradley1, Michael H Abraham2, William E Acree Jr3 and Andrew SID Lang4*
    Bradley et al. Chemistry Central Journal (2015) 9:12 DOI 10.1186/s13065-015-0085-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Predicting Abraham model solvent coefficients Jean-Claude Bradley1, Michael H Abraham2, William E Acree Jr3 and Andrew SID Lang4* Abstract Background: The Abraham general solvation model can be used in a broad set of scenarios involving partitioning and solubility, yet is limited to a set of solvents with measured Abraham coefficients. Here we extend the range of applicability of Abraham’s model by creating open models that can be used to predict the solvent coefficients for all organic solvents. Results: We created open random forest models for the solvent coefficients e, s, a, b, and v that had out-of-bag R2 values of 0.31, 0.77, 0.92, 0.47, and 0.63 respectively. The models were used to suggest sustainable solvent replacements for commonly used solvents. For example, our models predict that propylene glycol may be used as a general sustainable solvent replacement for methanol. Conclusion: The solvent coefficient models extend the range of applicability of the Abraham general solvation equations to all organic solvents. The models were developed under Open Notebook Science conditions which makes them open, reproducible, and as useful as possible. Keywords: Abraham general solvation model, Solvent coefficients, Sustainable solvents, Solvent replacement, Partition coefficients, Solubility Background and (E, S, A, B, V) are the solute descriptors: E is the The Abraham model was developed and is widely used solute excess molar refractivity in units of (cm^3/mol)/ to predict partition coefficients for both conventional or- 10, S is the solute dipolarity/polarizability, A and B are ganic solvents [1-11] and ionic liquid solvents [12,13], the overall or summation hydrogen bond acidity and for the partitioning of drug molecules between blood basicity, and V is the McGowan characteristic volume in and select body organs [14-18], and for partitioning into units of (cm^3/mol)/100.
