Session Abstract
Continued interest in botanicals in a variety of consumer care products coupled with a strong desire to eliminate animal testing presents some unique challenges for this category of ingredients. This symposium session aims at presenting in-depth the state of the art in botanical safety approaches, particularly the role of the Analytical Safety Collaboration and what new method data can bring to inform the safety evaluation. Strategy and approaches for assessing these complex mixtures will be examined, unique challenges and ways of overcoming them presented.
