About

A potent anticoagulant drug of the coumarin class used in human medicine to prevent blood clots, with no legitimate cosmetic application.

Acenocoumarol is a synthetic anticoagulant (vitamin K antagonist) used therapeutically for thrombosis prevention. It is not listed in EU cosmetic ingredient databases and has no history of safe cosmetic use. As a pharmaceutical agent with a narrow therapeutic window and significant bleeding risks, its presence in cosmetics would constitute a serious regulatory violation and health hazard. The EU cosmetics regulation prohibits substances not approved for cosmetic use.

Known concerns

  • No cosmetic use history — pharmaceutical drug
  • Potent anticoagulant with serious bleeding risk
  • Would not pass EU cosmetics safety assessment
  • Not listed in CosIng or any EU-approved cosmetic ingredient lists
