The "Retinol Ban" in the EU ( European union) Explained by a toxicologist.

- In 2012, Cosmetics Europe submitted a comprehensive safety dossier to support the continued use of Vitamin A in cosmetic products. Following this, the European Commission received the Norwegian risk assessment report on Vitamin A in 2013, further validating its safety for cosmetic use. 📜💼
To ensure the distinction between medicinal and cosmetic products, the European Medicine Agency (EMA) was consulted by the Commission. EMA confirmed that cosmetic products containing Vitamin A, when used at specific concentrations (0.05% RE in body lotions and 0.3% RE in hand and face creams), should not be classified as medicinal products. So, you can enjoy the benefits of Vitamin A without any concerns! 💫
The highly respected Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) issued an opinion on Vitamin A in 2016. They emphasized the safety of Vitamin A (retinol, retinyl palmitate, and retinyl acetate) at maximum concentrations of 0.05% (retinol equivalent) in body lotions and 0.3% (retinol equivalent) in hand creams, face creams, and rinse-off products. For the little ones, the SCCS confirmed that baby skin care products containing Vitamin A are safe for children aged 1-3 years. 👶🧒👧
However, it's important to note that the SCCS did not consider exposure to Vitamin A from sources other than cosmetic products, such as sunscreen products and dietary intake. The committee acknowledged that overall exposure to Vitamin A could be higher due to diet being the primary source. 🍽🥦🌞
Exciting news! The European Commission has requested a revision of the 2016 SCCS opinion on Vitamin A, considering new data on aggregated exposure from cosmetics, diet, and food supplements. In their preliminary revision, the SCCS confidently affirms the safety of Vitamin A in cosmetics at specified concentrations. 📚🔬💡
While cosmetics alone are unlikely to exceed the recommended upper limit of daily Vitamin A intake, it's essential to be mindful of cumulative exposure, especially for individuals with high exposure levels from food and supplements. Balance is key! ⚖️✅
The SCCS is welcoming comments on the preliminary revision until 7 February 2022. Stay informed and have your say! Together, let's unleash the true potential of Vitamin A for a healthier, more radiant you. 💪💖

I had no idea all this was going on
I was planning on keep using the retinol 1% ☹️ Question: whats the shelve life of closed retinol products? (No 👀 not me considering the possibility of creating a retinol stash)
Oh yeah 😅 and Inkey List who released a 1% retinol last year, poor guys
I said it multiple time but recently it was mandated to the regulations, unfortunately it’s hard to say for the shelve life of close product, the safety should maintained until the expiration dates but efficacy can be affected, try to get complexed or encapsulated versions, keep them in cool dry place and retinal will be available still
@@MoskinlabI think retinal is better, anyway-if a bit more expensive.
You can find very affordable retinal product in the EU for example Avene cleanance women night treatment has 0,1% retunal and is like below 20 euros
Idk why EU is banning everything that prevents acne. They did it with Accutane, now they are banning 1% retinol. I'm definetly gonna be stacking up.
I have wondered that myself! I take a multivitamin that contains 1500 mcg of retinol acetate and then adding topical retinoids. Could this pose a safety risk? I don’t know.
Good question…it doesn’t seem appropriate to me.
@@vetsai8199 okay so you would advocate against topical retinoids since I supplement right ?
Ugh.. why can we never have nice things?! 0,5% doesn’t harm anyone, why did they go down to 0,3%
I do not take supplements with vitamin a and very limited animal products. I am not pregnant and will not be getting pregnant. I have had good results with higher strength retinol on acne. Why should I, or other cautious people like me, fall victim to this legislation? I do not respect this new law and will probably be looking for black market options in the future.
I normally use the Cerave Resurfacing Retinol which is encapsulated and I hope contains around 0.3%... 😮
I believe it's 0,3 which will be safe ❤️
Hi MO. I have oily skin and wrinkles in the forehead. I think I have pimples under the skin. What do you recommend for me, acretin or retinol, as effective, or are there other better solutions?
Start with retinol and work your way up ⬆️
I use Advanced Clinicals retinol serum. Is it safe?
Yes it is safe
@@Moskinlab but I think Advanced Clinicals retinol serum has 1.3% retinol
Thank you for addressing the confusion, it's handy to have a video I can link people to.
Also… you needn't apologise! I see nothing messy and the laptop camera is fine. This angle suits you.
If it's easier for you to film this way I say do it!
Oh thank you so much Ruby for the support i really appreciate it 🤗🤗🤗❤️
@@MoskinlabYou look great in your glasses, btw!
Thank you 🥺
Thanks Mo...You can't help yourself😂...now back to your thesis!
(Love the kooky character EU flag btw).
👱🏻♀️❤️
There was a lot of misinformation that I couldn't help it 😭🤣
@@Moskinlab 🤣🤣
Please correct if I’m wrong, the information I heard was 003% 005% was ok but 1% retinol is going to be banned in the next 18 months in EU countries only ? Source RUclips influencer
0.3% for the hand and face in rinse off and leave on products of retinol equivalent ( retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate) retinal aka retinaladehyde is not affected, 0,05% for the body same ingredients, those are the maximum allowed concentration other than those it will be removed from the market during after 38 months, 18 months is is for already manufactured product that need to be placed on the market.
@@Moskinlab isn't it weird though that retinal is still okay? Since it's more potent 🤷🏻♀️
@@auricia201because no data was submitted by the safety dossier to the scccs
@@Moskinlab Still it ALL doesn't make sense... Retinal is not affected... Treinoin is not affected... Both is much much more stronger then Retinol. How can this be?????
is acretin okay for daily use?? 0.025
thankyou so much for making a video on the subject i did see your instagran post on it too but thankyou again for making a video about it
Of course i am so glad it was helpful 🤗
Thank you for addressing this issue, Mo! I’m sure you’ve soothed a lot of European worries! And of course, the American press got hold of this news and blew it up out of proportion🙄. So now Americans are worried that the USA will follow suit. Truthfully, I think the EU simply felt the product needed some regulation, given its popularity.
Thank you for your comment 🤗, actually this restrictions in my opinion is a bit too much because it was made out of abundance of caution, very conservative approach 🤗 yep typical media 😭
Because that was what was provided to the committee in the safety dossier by the EU commission 😅 i know it's a silly reason but that's how it works here
New data was presented, new methodologies were perfected and new measuring equipment and tests were developed all of this play a role when it comes to changes of regulations and safety studies 🤗
Welcome 🤗
As far as I got it, only 0.3% of retinol equivalent would be allowed for face products (that doesn't change much, it's been 0.2% for OTC products so far) Are prescription retinoids affected by this change though?
In the EU most retinoind like retinol, retinal and other derivatives are considered cosmetics ingredients, OTC classification only applied for drugs, prescription retinoids are not affected by this at all because they are considered drugs 🤗❤️

Hhhhhhh😂
