Bergfeld, M.D., F.A.C.P.; Donald V. Belsito, M.D.; Ronald A. Hill, Ph.D.; Curtis D. Klaassen, Ph.D.; Daniel C. Liebler, Ph.D.; James G. Marks, Jr., M.D.; Ronald C. Shank, Ph.D.; Thomas J. Slaga, Ph.D.; and Paul W. Snyder, D.V.M., Ph.D. The CIR Interim Director is Bart Heldreth, Ph.D. This report was prepared by Wilbur Johnson, Jr., M.S., Senior Scientific Analyst and Ivan Boyer, Ph.D., Toxicologist. © Cosmetic Ingredient Review 1620 L STREET, NW, SUITE 1200 ◊ WASHINGTON, DC 20036-4702 ◊ PH 202.331.0651 ◊ FAX 202.331.0088 ◊ [email protected] Commitment & Credibility since 1976 Memorandum To: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons From: Wilbur Johnson, Jr. Senior Scientific Analyst Date: August 18, 2017 Subject: Draft Report on Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide A Scientific Literature Review (SLR) on Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide was issued on July 7, 2017. The attached use concentration data that are (ammoni092017data1 and ammoni092017data2) included in this report were received from the Council prior to issuance of the SLR. Also included in this package for your review are the Draft Report (ammoni092017rep), the CIR report history (ammoni092017hist), Flow chart (ammoni092017flow.docx), Literature search strategy (ammoni092017strat.docx), Ingredient data profile (ammoni092017prof), 2017 FDA VCRP data (ammoni092017FDA), the CIR final report on Phosphoric Acid and Its Salts (ammoni092017prev), and Comments that were received from the Council (ammoni092017pcpc), which have been addressed. In addition to the safety test data on Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide that are included in the Draft Report, the following data (from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) registration dossier on Ammonia) on surrogate chemicals are included: data on “ammonium ion” (reproductive and developmental toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity data; counterion not identified) that are included in the ATSDR toxicological profile for Ammonia; diammonium phosphate (repeated dose (short-term) oral toxicity and reproductive and developmental toxicity data); ammonium chloride (genotoxicity data [micronucleus test]); ammonium sulfate (oral carcinogenicity and chronic oral toxicity data); and diammonium phosphate (reproductive toxicity data). The Panel should determine whether these data on surrogate chemicals are relevant to this safety assessment. Furthermore, it should be noted that the Panel has issued a Final Report on the safety of Phosphoric Acid and Its Salts (Diammonium Phosphate included) in cosmetics, and that the Panel should also determine whether data on Diammonium Phosphate in this report are relevant to the current safety assessment and should be added. Ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate are two of the surrogate chemicals that are mentioned above. One of the comments that was received from the Council suggests that these two cosmetic ingredients should be added to the safety assessment. However, it should be noted that the two ingredients, Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide, were proposed for inclusion in this safety assessment as a grouping during the priorities-setting process last year, and these additional ingredients were not recommended for inclusion. Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide constitute a perfect grouping because these ingredients are exactly the same thing in cosmetic products, existing with each other in equilibrium. The Panel should determine whether or not this change is warranted. After reviewing these documents, if the available data are deemed sufficient to make a determination of safety, the Panel should issue a Tentative Report with a safe as used, safe with qualifications, or unsafe conclusion. If the available data are insufficient, the Panel should issue an Insufficient Data Announcement (IDA), specifying the data needs therein. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1620 L Street, NW Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036 (Main) 202-331-0651 (Fax) 202-331-0088 (Email) [email protected] (Website) www.cir-safety.org SAFETY ASSESSMENT FLOW CHART INGREDIENT/FAMILY __ Ammonium Hydroxide and Ammonia _______________________________ MEETING ___Sept 2017_________________________________________________________________ Public Comment CIR Expert Panel Report Status Priority List INGREDIENT PRIORITY LIST SLR July 7, 2017 DRAFT REPORT Sept 2017 Draft Report 60 day public comment period Table Table IDA TR IDA Notice IDA DRAFT TENTATIVE REPORT Draft TR Table Table Tentative Report Issue TR Draft FR DRAFT FINAL REPORT 60 day Public comment period Table Table Different Conclusion Issue PUBLISH Final Report FR Distributed for comment only -- do not cite or quote CIR History of: Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide A Scientific Literature Review (SLR) on Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide was issued on July 7, 2017.
