Following the French relative to cosmetic products to provisionally ban the use of vitamin K1 in cosmetic products, the SCCP delivered an opinion on 28 September 2007.
It concluded that: "Because of the inadequate nature of the dossier submitted, the SCCP is unable to provide an adequate safety. However, as such use may cause cutaneous allergy, individuals so affected may be denied an important therapeutic agent".
A public consultation on a possible ban of phytonadione was opened from 13 November to 21 December 2007. In view of the answers received a new consultation of the SCCP occurred.
