CI 77120 (Barium Sulfate) functions as: Colorant; Opacifying Agent. Inorganic insoluble salt of barium and sulfate (BaSO4). Functions as a white opacifier and extender in cosmetic formulations, imparting opacity and a smooth texture. Used in face powders, foundations, blushes, and eye shadows. CIR Expert Panel completed a final safety assessment concluding Barium Sulfate is safe as used in cosmetics when meeting purity requirements. Distinct from soluble barium salts, which are toxic; the insolubility of BaSO4 is the primary basis for its safety.. It is classified as a cosmetic ingredient in our database. CAS number: 7727-43-7.
The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for CI 77120 (Barium Sulfate) is =179.5 mg/kg bw/day based on a reproduction developmental study via oral route in Rat. A total of 2 study endpoints are available. Source: ToxValDB_ECHA_IUCLID.
