  • Aerosol products
    • Hairsprays
    • Deodorant

  • Products in pressurized containers
    • Shaving cream
    • Foaming soaps

  • Detergent bubble bath products

  • Hair dyes containing coal tar colors

  • Feminine deodorant sprays

  • Shampoos, rinses and conditioners

  • Hair straighteners and depilitories

  • Nail builders (elongators, extenders, hardeners, and enamels)

  • Any product that contains one or more ingredients that the CIR found had insufficient testing data to support the ingredients' safe use in cosmetics
