General safety info about Pinus Sylvestris Extract from CIR
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel reviewed the safety of Mentha piperita (peppermint)-derived ingredients; most of the ingredients function as fragrance ingredients and/or skin conditioning agents in cosmetic products. Because final product formulations may contain multiple botanicals, each containing similar constituents of concern, formulators are advised to be aware of these constituents and to avoid reaching levels that may be hazardous to consumers. Industry should continue to use good manufacturing practices to limit impurities that could be present in botanical ingredients. The Panel reviewed data relevant to the safety of these ingredients and concluded that Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Leaf, and leaf-derived ingredients are safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration, when formulated to be non-sensitizing, and that the available data are insufficient to make a determination that the remaining 3 ingredients are safe under the intended conditions of use in cosmetic formulations.
