The Panel noted that there was a screening reproductive and developmental toxicity study on 2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol, however there was no data on carcinogenicity. The Panel considered the negative results of a reproductive and developmental toxicity study in rats and of in vitro genotoxicity assays, as well as the findings of no systemic toxicity at high doses in single and repeated oral dose animal studies, little to no irritation in ocular and dermal animal studies, no dermal irritation in human studies, and no dermal sensitization in multiple animal studies to support their conclusion for these ingredients. The Panel noted that the names of ceramide ingredients have changed recently. For example, the INCI name, Ceramide 1 has been retired and replaced by the name Ceramide EOP. For an interim period, products on the market may be labelled with either name, Ceramide 1 or Ceramide EOP, although both names refer to the same ingredient. The Panel determined that these ceramide ingredients are safe as used, assuming that the ingredients are not derived from bovine central nervous system tissues Increased uterine weight at dose of 100 mg/kg in rats; in addition, expression of Erb and TERP1 genes, decreased expression of IGF1 gene, decreased cholesterol and LDL levels.
