Is Aromatic hydrocarbons, C20-28, polycyclic, mixed coal-tar pitch-polyethylene polypropylene pyrolysis-derived, if they contain > 0.005 % w/w benzo[a]pyrene vegetarian?
Aromatic hydrocarbons, C20-28, polycyclic, mixed coal-tar pitch-polyethylene polypropylene pyrolysis-derived, if they contain > 0.005 % w/w benzo[a]pyrene
A complex mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the C20-28 range, derived from pyrolysis of a mixture of coal-tar pitch, polyethylene and polypropylene. It is restricted in cosmetics when benzo[a]pyrene content exceeds 0.005% w/w due to carcinogenicity concerns.
