Abstract
Tallow, Tallow Glyceride, Tallow Glycerides, Hydrogenated Tallow Glyceride, and Hydrogenated Tallow Glycerides are used in eye and face makeup preparations and in skin care preparations. Concentrations of use range from ≤0.1 % to > 50%. The fatty acid constituents of Tallow, and some of the corresponding fatty acid alcohols have been evaluated for safety by the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology, the Food and Drug Administration, and by an Expert Panel of the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. In all cases, the ingredients were found safe in present practices of use. None of these constituents of Tallow were toxic through oral and dermal exposure, they were not ocular or dermal irritants, and they were neither dermal sensitizers nor photosensitizers. The same was true for other oils which contain varying concentrations of the constituents of Tallow. Based on the CIR safety evaluations of the individual constituents of Tallow and of cosmetic ingredients containing the constituents of Tallow, and on the approval of Tallow for use in foods and other consumer products, it is concluded that Tallow, Tallow Glyceride, Tallow Glycerides, Hydrogenated Tallow Glyceride, and Hydrogenated Tallow Glycerides are safe as cosmetic ingredients in the present practices of use.
