8. EU SCCS releases opinions on the draft safety assessment of tea tree oil cosmetics
On June 6, 2025, the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) of the European Union released a draft opinion on the scientific assessment of tea tree oil (TTO) in cosmetics. The main contents are as follows:
The SCCS considers the use of Tea Tree Oil (TTO) as an anti-seborrheic and anti-microbial agent safe up to the maximum concentration of 2.0% in shampoo, 1.0% in shower gel, 1.0% in face wash and 0.1% in face cream.
This Opinion is only applicable to:
- TTO with chemical composition that conforms to the updated International Standard (ISO 4730:2017) in the intended final cosmetic products.
- The use of TTO in the intended dermally applied cosmetic products, and not in aerosolised or sprayable products that may give rise to inhalation exposure of the consumer.
The SCCS is therefore of the opinion that stability of TTO must be maintained in the final cosmetic products so that the components remain within the specifications of the updated ISO 4730:2017 standard.
This draft opinion is now open for public consultation until August 18, 2025.

| Hair styler SR/02462/25 |  | United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland | The fuse within the plug has insufficient granular filler and is too small. This can lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding, causing a fire. This product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive. |
| Lighting chain SR/02398/25 |  | Slovakia | Due to the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, access to live parts is possible. Moreover, the product has an insufficient nominal cross-section of the conductors and does not meet the declared requirements for protection against moisture. This may result in the user receiving an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20. |
| Lighting chain SR/02397/25 |  | Slovakia | Due to the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, access to live parts is possible. Moreover, the product has an insufficient nominal cross-section of the conductors, it allows single-pole plug insertion, has insufficient cable length between plug and the first socket and also does not meet the declared requirements for protection against moisture. This may result in the user receiving an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20. |
| Lighting chain SR/02439/25 |  | Slovakia | Due to the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, access to live parts is possible. Moreover, the product has an insufficient nominal cross-section of the conductors, it allows single-pole plug insertion, has insufficient cable length between plug and the first socket and also does not meet the declared requirements for protection against moisture. This may result in an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20 |
| Children’s lamp SR/02445/25 |  | Sweden | The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead. (measured value up to 58.2% by weight). The product does not comply with the requirements of RoHS 2 Directive. |
| Toy camera SR/02444/25 |  | Sweden | The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 19.1% by weight). The product does not comply with the requirements of RoHS 2 Directive. |
| Power adaptor SR/02646/25 |  | United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland | The mains plug dimensions of the product are inadequate. The user could receive an electric shock from accessible live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive. |
| Wall socket SR/02809/25 |  | United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland | The breakdown isolation between the input and output circuits and the creepage and clearance distances between circuits of the wall socket are insufficient. Moreover there is no overcurrent protection device fitted to the USB input circuit. This can lead to overheating of the wall socket and cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, nor with the European standard EN 62368-1. |
| Air purifier OR/00112/25 |  | Ireland | Moisture or contaminants may affect the door interlock microswitch, causing electrical arcing and overheating, which may result in electric shock or fires. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive. |
| Lighting chain SR/02616/25 |  | Hungary | The product is improperly designed and not adequately protected against electric shock. The swinging socket enables a one-pole connection. As a result, the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598. |
| Air purifier SR/02537/25 |  | Sweden | The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: 69% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the requirements of RoHS 2 Directive. |
| Foot polisher SR/02581/25 |  | Sweden | The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead. (measured value up to 72.7% by weight). Moreover, the plastic material of the product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 1.21% by weight). Additionally, the product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.61 % by weight). The product does not comply with the requirements of RoHS 2 Directive nor with POP Regulation. |
| LED head lamp SR/02592/25 |  | Sweden | The product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 2.66% by weight). The product does not comply with POP Regulation. |
| Digital thermometer SR/02743/25 |  | Sweden | The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 66% by weight). The product does not comply with the requirements of RoHS 2 Directive. |
