About

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

Dihydromorphine is a hydrogenated derivative of morphine belonging to the phenanthrene class of opioid alkaloids. It is controlled under the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and listed on EU Annex II as a narcotic substance prohibited in cosmetic products. Like all opioids, it carries risks of respiratory depression, dependence, and tolerance. Its use in cosmetics would constitute a serious legal and safety violation.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned narcotic — Schedule I controlled substance
  • Risk of respiratory depression
  • High dependence and abuse potential
