About
Anagestone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Anagestone is a synthetic progestational steroid with structural similarity to natural progesterone and other synthetic progestins. The absence of hazard statements here does not indicate safety — many progestins were never evaluated for cosmetic use because they were never intended for that purpose. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, steroid hormones and their derivatives are subject to the Annex II prohibition for substances not authorized for cosmetic use. This substance has pharmaceutical classification with no cosmetic safety data.
Known concerns
- Progestational hormonal activity with potential reproductive effects
- No CosIng listing — not authorized for cosmetic use
- Pharmaceutical classification with no established cosmetic safety
- Potential for endocrine disruption via topical absorption
