About

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

Etafedrine is a pharmaceutical sympathomimetic amine used as a bronchodilator. It is prohibited in cosmetic products under EU Regulation 1223/2009 as it has no place in cosmetic formulations and presents risks of cardiovascular stimulation. Its status as a licensed drug substance means cosmetic use is not permitted.
