Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Salicylic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in plants like willow bark, and it is also made synthetically for use in many everyday products. You might know it as the active ingredient in aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or as a common ingredient in acne treatments, dandruff shampoos, and skin care products. Since February 2018, California has listed salicylic acid on its Proposition 65 list for developmental toxicity, but only when exposure exceeds a specific daily threshold. This means that at high enough doses, it may pose a risk to fetal development during pregnancy. The regulation does not apply to the low levels typically found in over-the-counter cosmetics or medicines. Instead, it targets products or situations where someone might be exposed to much larger amounts, such as certain industrial uses or high-dose supplements. The listing is based on scientific evidence reviewed by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). For more details, see the official Proposition 65 list at https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
Ginkgo biloba extract comes from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, a plant used for centuries in traditional remedies and now found in many dietary supplements. You might see it in products marketed for memory or circulation support. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified this extract as Group 2B, meaning it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." This classification is based on limited evidence from animal studies, not on clear proof that it causes cancer in people. IARC reviews available scientific studies to flag substances that may pose a risk, helping regulators and consumers make informed choices. The key point is that this is a precautionary label, not a definitive warning. For more details, see the IARC Monographs at https://monographs.iarc.who.int/list-of-classifications.
