  • Hyaluronic Acid Maximum % Usage for EU face serum

    Posted by CarlJen on July 30, 2015 at 6:21 am

    I have been trying to find out the maximum allowed usage of Hyaluronic Acid in a face serum in the EU. I read an article that upto 2% is allowed but this week i found a brand for sale in the UK with 3% does anyone know the correct figure ?

    there is no legal limit in the EU

    don’t know where that figure of 2% came from but it certainly didn’t come from the European Commission or the SCCS

    I think the 2% came from here:

    Final report of the safety assessment of hyaluronic acid, potassium hyaluronate, and sodium hyaluronate.


    But as bill said - there is no restriction  in the EU
