Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Isobutane is a gas commonly used as a propellant in aerosol products like hairspray, deodorant, and shaving cream. However, the EU regulates a specific form of isobutane that contains more than 0.1% butadiene, a chemical impurity. Butadiene is a concern because the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as Group 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans). To protect consumers, the EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex II bans this impure isobutane from all cosmetic products sold in the European Union. This means manufacturers must ensure their isobutane propellant meets strict purity standards. The ban applies to any cosmetic product containing isobutane with butadiene levels above the 0.1% threshold. This rule helps reduce potential long-term health risks from everyday products.

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a large group of human-made chemicals used to make products resistant to water, grease, and stains. You'll find them in non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, and some firefighting foams. The European Union's REACH regulation lists PFAS as "substances of very high concern" because they are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT). This means they don't break down easily in the environment, build up in living organisms, and can cause long-term harm. Because PFAS are so widespread and stable, multiple subgroups are regulated under the Candidate List and other restrictions. The goal is to phase out their use and reduce pollution.
