Risk assessment of vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) in cosmetics

The Norwegian Food Safety Authority requests the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety to assess the risk related to use of vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) in cosmetics. The risk assessment should be based on already existing assessments of vitamin A and on relevant data from the national food consumption surveys, including new results from Norkost 3 for adults. The VKM Panel on food additives, flavourings, and food contact materials will be responsible for this assessment.NO; no; vkm@vkm.n
