About

Brompheniramine (INN) and its salts is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Brompheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine (H1 receptor antagonist) primarily used in pharmaceutical preparations for allergic conditions. It has no widespread or established use in cosmetic formulations under EU cosmetics law. As a pharmacologically active molecule, it carries H302 (harmful if swallowed) and poses concern as an unintended cosmetic ingredient due to its systemic drug activity. Its cosmetic safety profile is not well established.

Known concerns

  • drug substance not evaluated for cosmetics
  • potential systemic effects
  • H302 harmful if swallowed
