This is a review of the scientific literature and unpublished data that are relevant for assessing the safety of 12 (sunflower)-derived ingredients as used in cosmetics. Because final product formulations may contain multiple botanicals, each containing similar constituents of concern, formulators are advised to be aware of these constituents and to avoid levels that may be hazardous to consumers. (sunflower)-derived ingredients may contain allergens, including 2S albumins and sesquiterpene lactones. Industry should use current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) to limit impurities and constituents of concern. The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) concluded that 9 (sunflower) seed- and flower-derived ingredients are safe as used in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment. The data are insufficient to evaluate the safety of 3 ingredients that are derived from other plant parts.
