About

Amfetamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Amfetamine (also known as speed or adrenaline) is a controlled stimulant drug (Schedule I/II in most jurisdictions) with documented acute toxicity including cardiovascular, neurological, and psychiatric effects. No GHS hazard statements are listed in the source data, but the pharmacological profile of amfetamine is entirely incompatible with cosmetic applications. Like dexamfetamine, it has no legitimate cosmetic use. EU Regulation 1223/2009 prohibits substances classified as CMR Category 1A/1B from cosmetic products; amfetamine's pharmacological classification places it firmly outside the scope of any cosmetic ingredient authorisation.

Known concerns

  • CNS stimulant with serious cardiovascular and neurological effects
  • Schedule I/II controlled substance — no cosmetic application permitted
  • Severe regulatory violation if present in any cosmetic product
  • CMR concern based on pharmacological classification
