Avoid

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Drospirenone is a prescription oral-contraceptive progestin — not a cosmetic ingredient. EU cosmetic regulation forbids hormonally active substances. If found in a topical product, that is a serious red flag.

Skin benefits

  • None for cosmetic use

Known concerns

  • Prescription synthetic progestin (Yaz, Yasmin); not a cosmetic ingredient
  • GHS H351 — suspected of causing cancer
