About
Bezitramide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Bezitramide is a potent opioid analgesic (benzimidazone derivative) that is classified as a controlled substance and prescription-only medicine throughout the EU. Its inclusion under EU Annex II (prohibited substances in cosmetic products) reflects the serious risk of systemic pharmacological effects from topical application. Any presence in a cosmetic product would constitute a regulatory violation of Regulation 1223/2009.
Known concerns
- EU Annex II prohibited substance - banned in all cosmetic products
