| Abstract: | The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) assessed the safety of 8 fatty ethers as used in cosmetic formulations. These ingredients are reported to function in cosmetics as skin conditioning agents. The Panel reviewed the available data to determine the safety of these ingredients, and concluded that these ingredients are safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentrations described in this safety assessment. |
