Background: While the use of methyldibromo glutaronitrile (MDBGN) in leave-on products is clearly associated with high sensitization or elicitation risk, such a clear-cut relation could be questioned with regard to rinse-off products.
Objective: The objective of this study was to find a maximum non-eliciting concentration for rinse-off products in MDBGN patch test-positive patients.
Patients And Methods: We performed a use-related test [repeated open application test (ROAT)] in patients sensitized to MDBGN with a liquid soap containing three concentrations of MDBGN (50, 200, and 400 p.p.m. MDBGN, respectively). The soap at 50 p.p.m. was used twice daily for 4 weeks. If no reaction of the skin was observed, the product with the next higher concentration was used for another 4 weeks, etc.
Results: In total, 32/37 evaluated cases [86.5%; lower exact one-sided 95% confidence limit (CL): 73.7%] did not react to any of the preparations. The remaining reacted as follows: 1/37 reacted to 50 p.p.m., 3/37 to 200 p.p.m., and 1/37 to 400 p.p.m. The cumulative non-response to 50 p.p.m. was 97.3% (lower CL: 87.8%).
Conclusions: The majority of subjects sensitized to MDBGN-tolerated rinse-off products containing a maximum concentration of 400 p.p.m. A concentration in rinse-off products in the range of 50 p.p.m. could be regarded as safe for most individuals already sensitized. These concentrations will presumably prevent induction (sensitization) also.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the prevalence of contact allergies to methylisothiazolinone (MI) and related preservatives in cosmetic products across Europe after regulatory changes implemented in the late 2010s.
- - A total of 2554 patients were patch tested, revealing MI allergy at 2.9%, benzisothiazolinone (BIT) at 3.1%, and octylisothiazolinone (OIT) at 0.7%, with rinse-off products being the main source of MI-related allergies.
- - The research highlights a decrease in MI allergies due to regulations, though BIT has become a more common allergen, indicating ongoing consumer exposure to older products.

The presence of microplastics in cosmetics and personal care products (C&PCPs) has been increasingly in the public eye since the early 2010s. Despite increasing research into the potential environmental and health effects of microplastics, most research to date on microplastics in C&PCPs has investigated "rinse-off" products, while the potential impacts of "leave-on" C&PCPs have been largely neglected, despite these products being purchased in greater volumes and often having two or more microplastic ingredients in their formulations(CosmeticsEurope, 2018b). This review aims to synthesize the current knowledge of microplastic in C&PCPs, assessing the potential environmental and human health impacts of C&PCPs and discussing the regulatory implications.

Liquid formulations are ubiquitous yet have lengthy product development cycles owing to the complex physical interactions between ingredients making it difficult to tune formulations to customer-defined property targets. Interpolative ML models can accelerate liquid formulations design but are typically trained on limited sets of ingredients and without any structural information, which limits their out-of-training predictive capacity. To address this challenge, we selected eighteen formulation ingredients covering a diverse chemical space to prepare an open experimental dataset for training ML models for rinse-off formulations development.

Article Synopsis
- Climbazole is an antifungal used in cosmetics, notably for its preservative properties and as an active ingredient in anti-dandruff products.
- This study examines how climbazole is processed in the body, focusing on its metabolites' excretion through urine after oral ingestion and skin application, revealing that 23.9% of the oral dose was excreted over 48 hours.
- Findings indicated that the timing and amount of climbazole excretion vary based on how it is applied (oral vs. dermal), with the max dermal intake being 18.5 µg/kg bw/d from a hair tonic, compared to 6.6 µg/kg bw/d from shampoo.
