Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The long-term inhalation DNEL for systemic effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute oral toxicity study. The calculated DNEL is 3.5 mg/m^3, applying the assessment factor of 75.

The long-term inhalation DNEL for local effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), since 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose was considered as LOAEL for local effects. For this DNEL derivation NOEL = 500 mg/kg bw/day was used. The calculated DNEL is 17.5 mg/m^3, applying the assessment factor of 75.

The acute/short term exposure inhalation DNEL for systemic and local effects was not assessed, since no acute inhalation study is available and Mexoryl SBO shows low acute toxicity when administered orally (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

The long-term dermal DNEL for systemic effects is derived on the basis of sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), where NOEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest administered dose of Mexoryl SBO. The calculated DNEL is 3.3 mg/kg bw/day, applying the assessment factor of 300.

The long-term dermal DNEL for local effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), where starting point is NOEL = 500 mg/kg bw/day (NOAEC = 4 mg/cm^2). The calculated DNEL is 0.8 mg/cm^2, applying the assessment factor of 5.

The acute/short term exposure dermal DNEL for systemic and local effects was not assessed, since no acute dermal study is available and Mexoryl SBO shows low acute toxicity when administered orally (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

The long-term inhalation DNEL for systemic effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute oral toxicity study. The calculated DNEL is 0.87 mg/m^3, applying the assessment factor of 150.

The long-term inhalation DNEL for local effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), since 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose was considered as LOAEL for local effects. For this DNEL derivation NOEL = 500 mg/kg bw/day was used. The calculated DNEL is 8.8 mg/m^3, applying the assessment factor of 150.

The acute/short term exposure inhalation DNEL for systemic and local effects was not assessed, since no acute inhalation study is available and Mexoryl SBO shows low acute toxicity when administered orally (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

The long-term dermal DNEL for systemic effects is derived on the basis of sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), where NOEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest administered dose of Mexoryl SBO. The calculated DNEL is 1.7 mg/kg bw/day, applying the assessment factor of 600.

The long-term dermal DNEL for local effects is derived on the basis of the sub-acute dermal toxicity study (2-week study), where starting point is NOEL = 500 mg/kg bw/day (NOAEC = 4 mg/cm^2). The calculated DNEL is 0.4 mg/cm^2, applying the assessment factor of 10.

The acute/short term exposure dermal DNEL for systemic and local effects was not assessed, since no acute dermal study is available and Mexoryl SBO shows low acute toxicity when administered orally (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

The long-term oral DNEL for systemic effects is derived on the basis of sub-acute oral toxicity study. The calculated DNEL is 0.5 mg/kg bw/day, applying the assessment factor of 600.
