Developing a cosmetic series: results from the ESSCA network, 2009-2018

Background There is considerable variability across European patch test centres as to which allergens are included in local and national cosmetics series. Objectives To propose a standardized, evidence-based cosmetic series for Europe based on up-to-date analysis of relevant contact allergens. Metho...

Description
Summary:Background There is considerable variability across European patch test centres as to which allergens are included in local and national cosmetics series. Objectives To propose a standardized, evidence-based cosmetic series for Europe based on up-to-date analysis of relevant contact allergens. Methods We collated data from the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA) from 2009 to 2018 to determine which cosmetic allergens produce a high yield of contact allergy. Contact allergens with a prevalence of >0.3% that were considered relevant were included. Rare contact allergens were excluded if deemed no longer relevant or added to a supplemental cosmetic series for further analysis. Results Sensitization prevalences of 39 cosmetic contact allergens were tabulated. Thirty of these allergens yielded >0.3% positive reactions and are therefore included in our proposed European cosmetic series. Six were considered no longer relevant and therefore excluded. Three were included in a supplementary European cosmetic series. An additional nine allergens were included in either the core or supplemental European cosmetic series following literature review. Conclusion We have derived a potential European cosmetic series based upon the above methods. This will require ongoing investigation based upon the changing exposure profiles of cosmetic allergens as well as new and evolving substances.
