9789241543330Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Epichlorohydrin is a chemical used mainly to make epoxy resins, adhesives, and water treatment products. You might encounter it in certain glues, coatings, or industrial materials. California’s Proposition 65 lists epichlorohydrin because it can cause cancer and may also harm development or reproduction. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added it to the list in 1987 based on scientific evidence. This doesn’t mean you’ll be harmed from everyday use, but it’s a heads-up for regulators and consumers. If you’re concerned, check product labels or contact manufacturers. 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.
Epichlorohydrin, also known as 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, is a chemical used in industrial settings to make epoxy resins, plastics, and adhesives. You might encounter it in some paints, coatings, or glues, but it is not allowed in cosmetic products sold in the European Union. The EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex II bans this substance because it can cause skin irritation and is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This means long-term exposure may increase cancer risk, so regulators prohibit its use in items like lotions, soaps, or makeup to protect your health. The ban is part of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which ensures only safe ingredients go into personal care products.
