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.

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.

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.
