According to Appendix 7, Part A of the Cosmetics Ordinance, the maximum permissible concentration is 10%.
safety instructions
Amiloxat was included in the EU's ongoing action plan ( CoRAP ) in 2013 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) as part of substance evaluation . The effects of the substance on human health and the environment are re-evaluated and, if necessary, follow-up measures are initiated.
