Great, it worked.

FDA identified numerous safety data gaps for seven ingredients to be filled by animal tests. The ingredients are: • Hexylresorcinol • Iodophors (i.e., all iodine-containing ingredients) • Triclocarban • Benzalkonium chloride • Benzethonium chloride • Chloroxylenol • Triclosan We will be submitting comments on the proposed rule but are interested to know whether companies plan to initiate animal testing of these ingredients during the six-month comment period for the proposed rule. Since FDA has raised doubts over the efficacy of these ingredients, we are hoping that companies would establish the efficacy of each ingredient (if they haven’t already) and consider the reformulation and relabeling of products containing them prior to initiating any required testing. Any thoughts or input on this process would be greatly appreciated.
