SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety)

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) is an expert group established by the European Commission. Its primary role is to evaluate the safety of cosmetic products and their ingredients to protect consumers. The SCCS assesses scientific data and provides guidance and recommendations to ensure that products on the market are safe for use. Their work helps inform regulations and policies aimed at safeguarding public health, ensuring that consumers can use cosmetics without undue risk. The committee's assessments are based on the latest scientific research and contribute to consumer confidence in these products.
