 engineer with a master’s degree in toxicology. She has successfully combine
 d scientific expertise with regulatory acumen throughout her career as a re
 gulatory toxicologist. With over 20 years of experience, she has held strat
 egic and leadership roles in the industry, contributing to the safety and c
 ompliance of products in the perfume, cosmetics, detergent, and biocide sec
 tors. Anne-Cécile is currently the Regulatory and Public Affairs Director a
 t EcoXtract, a company specialising in bio-based extraction of lipids, plan
 t-based proteins and natural ingredients.\nAbstract\nHexane, a widely used 
 petrochemical solvent with a variable and complex composition, is under int
 ensified scrutiny due to mounting health and regulatory concerns. Neurodege
 nerative diseases are a growing concern for the general population, and hex
 ane’s neurotoxicity has placed it at the center of regulatory actions. EFSA
  has concluded that no safe dose of hexane can be identified, and the EU ha
 s officially classified it as STOT RE 1 for its effects on the nervous syst
 em. Furthermore, German authorities have recommended its inclusion as an SV
 HC and the implementation of restrictive measures.\n\nThese developments si
 gnal significant implications for industries globally, including in the USA
 . While businesses may currently comply with existing regulations, aggregat
 ed consumer exposure to hexane exceeds safe thresholds, raising the urgency
  for action. However, this challenge also presents an opportunity. By adopt
 ing safe and sustainable alternatives, your business can lead the way with 
 hexane-free products, setting new standards for innovation and responsibili
 ty.\n
