About
Alfentanil is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Alfentanil is a Schedule II controlled substance under the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and is classified as a potent opioid in EU pharmaceutical legislation (Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 on drug precursors). It has absolutely no cosmetic application and is listed under EU cosmetics prohibition provisions due to its pharmacological activity. Any intentional use or contamination would represent a serious regulatory violation with criminal law implications.
Known concerns
- Schedule II controlled opioid — EU and international prohibition in cosmetics
- Life-threatening respiratory depression risk
- High abuse potential and dependency
- No cosmetic function — zero tolerance in market surveillance
