- Environmental Bioconcentration: Since 1,3-propane sultone hydrolyzes rapidly in water(1,2), bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is not expected to be a significant process(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: If 1,3-propane sultone is released to soil, it will be expected to rapidly hydrolyze if the soil is moist, based upon the rapid hydrolysis observed in aqueous solution(1,2,SRC). Since it rapidly hydrolyzes, adsorption to and volatilization from moist soil are not expected to be significant processes, although no data specifically regarding the fate of 1,3-propane sultone in soil were located(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: If 1,3-propane sultone is released to water, it will be expected to rapidly hydrolyze, based upon a measured rate constant of 8.2X10-2 hr-1 for hydrolysis in aqueous solution at 25 °C(1) which corresponds to a half-life of 8.5 hr(SRC). The product of hydrolysis is 3-hydroxy-1-propanesulphonic acid(2). Since it rapidly hydrolyzes, bioconcentration, volatilization, and adsorption to sediment and suspended solids are not expected to be significant processes((SRC). No data were located concerning biodegradation, but 1,3-propane sultone will probably abiotically hydrolyze significantly faster than biodegradation(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: If 1,3-propane sultone is released to the atmosphere, it will be susceptible to photooxidation via vapor phase reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. An atmospheric half-life of 8 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm has been calculated for this process based upon an estimated rate constant(1,SRC).

Interpretation and limits for Brazil
This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope.
Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.
How to interpret the legal role
The cited row forms part of a binding rule or legally incorporated list for this market.

What it does not prove
RDC 1.030/2026 amends rather than replaces the prohibited baseline, and the second restricted-list revision was still under consultation in July 2026.
