General safety info about Denatured Alcohol from CIR

The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety assessed the safety of Caprylhydroxamic Acid as used in cosmetic formulations; this ingredient is reported to function as a chelating agent. Positive sensitization results appeared to be related to use of a penetration enhancer in formulation; additionally, sensitization that occurred with the use of a moisturizer containing Caprylhydroxamic Acid appeared to correlate with use on damaged skin. Therefore, the Panel cautioned against the use of Caprylhydroxamic Acid in a manner that would result in increased penetration. A quantitative risk assessment (QRA) was performed, using weight-of-evidence no-expected-sensitization-induction-level (WoE NESIL) of 1056 µg/cm2 . Nitrosamide formation is theoretically possible with Caprylhydroxamic Acid, but unlikely; however, manufacturers should use good manufacturing practices to monitor for the formation of nitrosamides as potential impurities. The Panel concluded that Caprylhydroxamic Acid is safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment.
