Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), California Prop 65 Ingredients
What is trichloroacetic acid (TCA)?
Trichloroacetic acid is an organic acid that is commonly used in the esthetic and cosmetic field to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. TCA helps reduce acne and improves the overall appearance of skin. TCA is a key ingredient in our collection of Acne Peels.
Why is TCA listed under California Prop 65?
TCA is listed under Prop 65 from its occurrence as a contaminant of drinking water. Learn more about Prop 65 in regards to TCA, please view more here.
Does Face Reality have a Prop 65 warning for TCA?
Yes, any product that contains TCA falls under Prop 65 including Face Reality’s Acne Peel #1, Acne Peel #2, Acne Peel #3, and Acne Back Peel. Face Reality is committed to providing transparency—which is consistent with the intent of Prop 65—to highlight that TCA has been found to be carcinogenic when ingested and has been associated with reproductive toxicity. Face Reality Skincare has always refrained from using Acne Peels on pregnant or lactating clients. The superficial application of TCA to the skin has not been found carcinogenic by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA).
What is California Prop 65?
California Proposition 65 (Prop 65) is California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Prop 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.
You may notice Prop 65 warnings on common items like household appliances, furniture, food, and cookware. To learn more about general Prop 65 information, read more here.
