About

Residues (petroleum), Catalytic Cracking is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Petroleum catalytic cracking residues are listed in Annex II of EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. These refinery stream residues contain polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), several of which are classified as Category 1A or 1B carcinogens under CLP. The specific composition varies by refinery and process, making risk assessment impossible. No concentration of such residues can be considered safe in topical products.

Known concerns

  • Prohibited in EU cosmetics (Annex II)
  • Contains polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
  • Category 1A/1B carcinogens (CLP)
