About these substances

Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.

Retinol / retinyl esters (developmental, high-dose) (CAS 68-26-8)

Retinol and retinyl esters, also known as vitamin A and its common forms like retinyl palmitate and acetate, are natural compounds found in many foods and skincare products. Under California's Proposition 65, high-dose exposure to these substances is listed as a developmental hazard. This means that taking very high amounts, typically from supplements or concentrated products, may increase the risk of birth defects or other developmental issues during pregnancy. The listing applies only to high-dose exposures, not to normal dietary intake or typical use in cosmetics. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added retinol to the Proposition 65 list on July 1, 1989, based on evidence of developmental toxicity. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: California OEHHA Proposition 65 List (https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list)
