About

A wet C1–5 gas stream from refinery processing containing butadiene above 0.1% w/w; this conditional specification places it in the EU Annex II CMR Cat 1A prohibited category for cosmetics.

Wet hydrocarbon gas fraction (C1–C5) from refinery gas processing plants, containing water and residual 1,3-butadiene above the 0.1% w/w threshold. Butadiene is an IARC Group 1 confirmed human carcinogen and appears on EU Annex II of Regulation 1223/2009, making this substance absolutely prohibited for cosmetic use in all EU member states, with no concentration threshold that would permit its inclusion in a finished cosmetic product.

Known concerns

  • Contains 1,3-butadiene >0.1% w/w — EU Annex II CMR Cat 1A carcinogen, banned from cosmetics
  • Wet gas mixture presenting both inhalation and潜在 dermal exposure routes
  • IARC Group 1 human carcinogen — zero-risk policy applies in EU cosmetics regulation
