[EU] CTPA Launches Survey To Inform Classification of Tea Tree Oil

Following the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) final opinion on the reprotoxic classification of Tea Tree Oil, the CTPA has launched a public consultation to allow industry and other stakeholders to submit evidence to inform the classification proposal.

The CTPA is actively engaging with Australian suppliers of Tea Tree Oil (TTO) to ensure that any supplementary studies are submitted to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In parallel, the CTPA is gathering data on the potential socio-economic consequences of classifying TTO as a CMR 1B substance—a designation that could result in its prohibition in cosmetic products unless a successful defence is mounted under Article 15 of the UK Cosmetics Regulation.

The deadline for the survey is 12 December 2025.
