About these substances

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

Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) (CAS 541-02-6)

Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, often called D5, is a silicone-based liquid used to give products a smooth, silky feel. You'll find it in many personal care items like lotions, deodorants, and hair conditioners, as well as in some industrial cleaners and coatings. It's regulated under the EU REACH program because it's classified as vPvB, which stands for "very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative." This means D5 breaks down very slowly in the environment and can build up in living organisms over time, raising concerns about long-term ecological effects. Because of these properties, REACH has also restricted D5 in wash-off cosmetics like shampoos and body washes to limit its release into waterways.

2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde (CAS 80-54-6)

2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde is a chemical used as a fragrance ingredient in products like perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents. It is also known by the alias "2-propionaldehyde" and belongs to a group of substances called stereoisomers. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists this substance on the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under the EU REACH regulation because it is classified as a potential endocrine disruptor, meaning it may interfere with hormone systems in humans and wildlife. This classification does not mean it causes harm in every product, but it triggers a legal duty for companies to inform consumers and regulators about its presence. The regulation aims to encourage safer alternatives and reduce long-term exposure. For more details, see the ECHA Candidate List at https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table.
