About

Cloforex is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Cloforex is a sympathomimetic appetite suppressant drug (anorectic) that acts on the central nervous system. It is chemically related to amphetamine and was marketed in some countries but withdrawn due to adverse effects including hypertension, tachycardia, insomnia, and psychiatric disturbances. It has no legitimate use in cosmetic formulations and is not listed in the EU Cosmetics Regulation positive lists. Substances with CNS drug activity and abuse potential fall outside the scope of safe cosmetic use.

Known concerns

  • CNS-active drug with abuse potential
  • Cardiovascular adverse effects (hypertension, tachycardia)
  • Withdrawn from pharmaceutical markets – no cosmetic use
  • Not approved under EU cosmetic regulations
