Are hair mousse, moisturizer and flammable products for over 18s?

Question

I tried to buy hair mousse from the Poundstore and they told me it was "OVER 18" because it said "Flammable".

Well basically I went to the Pound store and they told me I couldn't buy this freakin' hair mousse because I wasn't 18 and I asked them why.. and the Pakistani woman replied with "Look it saying flammable at back" THEN got her colleague who was like yes yes yes so I kind of got really angry and started shouting they got their manager and I was like "I DON'T HAVE TO BE 18 TO BUY THIS FREAKIN' HAIR MOUSSE" and she asked how old I was and then decided to sell it to me in the end...

They also wouldn't sell FACE MOISTURIZER...because apparently that's for OVER 18s only!

I just wanted to ask if stuff like Hair Mousse, Face Moisturizer basically ANYTHING liquid or flammable for over 18s? Like is there an actual law on this kind of stuff and if so what is the actual age?

You must be in the UK, it might not be a law but a store policy. Try another store, sounds fishy.
