About
Vapor-recovery gasoline with benzene above 0.1% is prohibited in EU cosmetics; benzene's carcinogenic classification makes any contamination above threshold non-compliant.
Gasoline, vapor-recovery (CAS 68514-15-8) refers to gasoline captured during vapor recovery operations in petroleum storage and distribution. This stream may have elevated benzene content depending on the source and process. EU Annex II prohibition applies to any cosmetic raw material exceeding 0.1% w/w benzene, without exception for the source or context of the contamination. Vapor-recovery gasoline has no cosmetic application; this entry represents a potential contaminant scenario.
Known concerns
- EU Annex II — benzene contamination (>0.1% prohibited)
- Known human carcinogen (benzene)
- Prohibited petroleum fraction
