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.
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.

🔍 What we found about this product
A factual report of what public registries and product databases returned for this EAN. We do not authenticate products or issue safety verdicts — we only report what we found.
Identifier checks
📋 EAN format: the GTIN-13 mod-10 checksum is consistent with the GS1 standard (format check only; does not authenticate the physical product)
📋 GS1 prefix 360 indicates the issuing office in France and Monaco (this is the country where the brand owner registered the EAN; it is not necessarily where the product was manufactured. Source: GS1 country code list)
📋 Brand entries found: no entry for Mennen in the Wikidata brand registry (our coverage of Wikidata is partial; absence is not a finding either way)
📋 Listed in 1 of the public product catalogue we check: Open Beauty Facts (catalogue presence only; the listing itself does not authenticate the product)
Registry scans
📋 Recall registry scan returned 0 matches (sources scanned: CPSC, FDA, RAPEX, Health Canada, NHTSA. Coverage gaps exist; we cannot speak to records outside these registries)
📋 Substance database scan returned 70 name matches with H-codes / regulated-substance entries (see substances section. This is a name match against label/ingredient text only; it does not confirm batch presence)
📋 Banned-ingredient scan (EU Cosmetic Annex II) returned 0 matches (source: EU Reg. 1223/2009. Scanned against available label text only)
📋 Certifications listed in our databases: none found (registries scanned: EU Ecolabel, US ENERGY STAR, US EPA Safer Choice. Many legitimate products are not enrolled in these schemes)
📋 Medical device registry: not listed in US FDA GUDID or EU EUDAMED (most consumer products are not medical devices and would not be expected to appear)
