About

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

Chlormadinone acetate is a synthetic steroidal progestogen with anti-androgenic properties used in pharmaceutical oral contraceptives. The EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II explicitly prohibits this substance for cosmetic purposes due to its steroid hormone activity. CAS 1961-77-9 presents concerns for hormonal disruption when applied topically, and no safe use level has been established for cosmetic formulations.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned — anti-androgenic progestogen
  • Endocrine disruption potential
  • No safe cosmetic use threshold established
