Challenges shaping the future
EU regulatory
The ECHA’s Member State Committee agreed with the identification of cyclosiloxanes (D4, D5, D6) as substances of very high concern (SVHC). Restriction in rinse-off cosmetics comprising D4 and D5 (in conc. > = 0.1%) will come into effect in February 2020 due to PBT* (D4) and vPvB** (D5) properties. In addition, ECHA proposed a revision of the scope of this restriction including D6 and leave on cosmetics.
* persistant, bioaccumulative and toxic substances
** very persistant and very bioaccumulative substances
Silicone supply
Silicone supply is tight worldwide, which has led to price increases across the industry due to multi-faceted reasons. No relief is in sight in short term.
