About
Clorprenaline is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Clorprenaline is an International Nonproprietary Name (INN) designated beta-2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator in respiratory medicine. The INN designation confirms its status as a recognized pharmaceutical substance. Beta-agonists are pharmacologically active compounds that induce smooth muscle relaxation (in bronchial tissue) and have no legitimate cosmetic use. Such sympathomimetic amines are explicitly prohibited from cosmetic formulations under EU cosmetics regulation.
