28 Nov 2022 --- The Kuwaiti Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies has withdrawn cosmetics and personal care products that contain butylphenyl methylpropional – trade name lilial – and its derivatives as they are classified as carcinogens by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). According to the Toxic Free Foundation, lilial is a fragrance ingredient, widely used in fragrance compounds. It is found naturally in the essential oil of chamomile and is used synthetically in a variety of beauty products, including perfumes, shampoos, deodorants, tanning lotions and hairstyling products, primarily for its Lily of the Valley aroma.
