ingredients derived from Achillea millefolium function in cosmetics as skin-conditioning agents – miscellaneous, skin-conditioning agents – humectants; and fragrance ingredients. The CIR Expert Panel reviewed relevant animal and human data to determine their safety in cosmetics. Because formulations may contain more than one botanical ingredient, caution was urged to avoid reaching levels of toxicity for constituents. Industry should use good manufacturing practices to limit impurities. The Panel concluded that achillea millefolium extract, achillea millefolium flower extract, and achillea millefolium flower/leaf/stem extract are safe in the present practices of use and concentration in cosmetics when formulated to be non-sensitizing. INTRODUCTION This is an amended safety assessment of Achillea millefolium (yarrow)-derived ingredients. These ingredients function in cosmetics as skin-conditioning agents – miscellaneous, skin-conditioning agents – humectants; and fragrance ingredients. The three ingredients in this safety assessment are: • achillea millefolium extract • achillea millefolium flower/leaf/stem extract • achillea millefolium flower extract In 2001, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) published a safety assessment of achillea millefolium extract as used in cosmetics.1 The CIR Expert Panel (Panel) concluded that there were insufficient data to determine the safety of these ingredients. The data needs were: • UV absorption data; if absorption occurs in the UVA or UVB range, photosensitization data. • Gross pathology and
