What Is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65, formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires the State of California to maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Importantly, Proposition 65 does not ban or restrict the sale of products containing these chemicals. Instead, it is a consumer-information law designed to provide warnings when trace amounts of listed chemicals may be present in products, workplaces, or the general environment.
Prop 65 warning labels are widespread throughout California and can be found on a broad range of items—including personal care products, toys, food items, and even residential or commercial buildings. California is the only state where this labeling requirement applies. The threshold for requiring a warning is set far below levels considered hazardous, allowing consumers to make informed decisions.
Is Proposition 65 Applicable Nationwide?
No. Proposition 65 applies only within the state of California.
Are Stellari Products Safe?
Absolutely—yes, yes, and yes.
Stellari products are manufactured in facilities that comply with strict manufacturing standards and applicable regulations. In some cases, Proposition 65 requires us to list one or more chemicals that may be used at any point during the manufacturing process.
The presence of a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product contains harmful levels of a chemical or poses a health risk. It simply indicates that a listed substance may have been used in some form during production. In modern manufacturing, it is virtually impossible to eliminate all contact with substances included on the Proposition 65 list.
Providing this warning reflects transparency and compliance—not danger.
