Description
Nickel telluride is a binary inorganic compound formed by nickel and tellurium, belonging to the class of metal tellurides.
Under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products, Nickel telluride is included in Annex II, reference 1446. Annex II of the Regulation corresponds to the list of substances whose presence is prohibited in the composition of cosmetic products marketed in the European Union. Inclusion in this annex means that the substance cannot form part of the formulation of cosmetic products intended for the European market, regardless of the concentration, the product type or the conditions of application. In addition, the substance has a CMR classification as Carcinogenic Cat. 1A, a category that groups substances recognized as carcinogenic to humans on the basis of evidence from human studies, under the harmonized classification system of the European Union.
The substances listed in Annex II have no authorized use in cosmetic formulations within the European Union, so there is no applicable technical use context in this sector. The information presented is for technical reference only and does not constitute a recommendation for use or an efficacy claim.
