General safety info about Acetyl Tyrosine from CIR

Amino acid alkyl amides as used in cosmetics mainly function as skin and hair conditioning agents and as surfactants-cleansing agents in personal care products. The list of ingredients in this report is found in Table 1.By and large, the ingredients in this report will report will rapidly dissociate in the presence of water. The relative exposure, hence, would be to amino acids and fatty acids, carboxylic acids, or dicarboxylic acids. A concurrent review of the safety of plant- and animal-derived amino acid and hydrolyzed protein ingredients as they are used in cosmetics is being performed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The Panel previously has reviewed the safety of α-amino acids and concluded that these ingredients are safe for use in cosmetic ingredients.1 The Panel also reviewed the following constituents and concluded that these ingredients are safe for use in cosmetic ingredients: coconut acid, olive acid, sunflower seed acid, palm acid, acetic acid, dicarboxylic acids, lauric acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and myristic acid. 2-9 The Panel has concluded that data are sufficient to determine safety for malic acid.10 The maximum concentrations of use along with summaries of the data included in those existing safety assessments are provided in Table 2.
