Propellants in aerosol cans are highly flammable and can cause explosions and start fires.
Empty aerosol cans are considered as hazardous waste in the USA and many countries.

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.
So it is always good when brands accept back their empties for sterilizing and recycling and when they offer refills.

Synthetic fragrance are known to contain a mix of various toxins - unless these are clearly and transparently mentioned as complete fragrance by the brand. Unfortunately very few brands give complete fragrance info as they consider this as proprietary information. When it comes to Synthetic fragrance this is tricky as they can be known pollutants in it.

Though brand is transparent with labelling, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Shea.
