The European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has published a preliminary opinion on the safety of Benzophenone-2 (BP-2) and Benzophenone-5 (BP-5) in cosmetic products. The SCCS says BP-2 may pose a risk to consumers due to possible genotoxic and endocrine activities, but BP-5 is considered safe when used under specific concentration limits.
