About these substances
Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Butane 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 butane that contains more than 0.1% butadiene, a chemical that can form during production. Butadiene is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans). Because of this risk, the EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex II bans the use of butane with butadiene levels above 0.1% in any cosmetic product sold in the European Union. This rule ensures that everyday items like spray deodorants or styling mousses do not expose people to potentially harmful levels of butadiene. The regulation applies to all cosmetics, including those imported from outside the EU. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, often called D6, is a type of silicone-based chemical used in products like cosmetics, personal care items, and industrial lubricants. It is a clear, odorless liquid that helps create a smooth, silky feel on skin or hair. The European Union's REACH regulation lists D6 as a Substance of Very High Concern because it is vPvB (very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative). This means it does not break down easily in the environment and can build up in living organisms over time, raising concerns about long-term ecological effects. While D6 is not classified as a health hazard for humans, its persistence and potential to accumulate in wildlife are why regulators monitor it closely. You can find D6 in some shampoos, conditioners, and deodorants, but its use is being phased out in many regions.
