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

A historical sympathomimetic pharmaceutical — absolutely not a cosmetic ingredient. Its presence here is a database artifact.

Etifelmine (CAS 341-00-4) is a sympathomimetic drug once used (chiefly in Germany) as a circulatory stimulant and antihypotensive. Pharmacologically it is an amphetamine-adjacent agent that raises blood pressure and acts on the CNS. It has never been authorized as a cosmetic ingredient; EU CosIng does not list it. Database entries for compounds like this typically arise from PubChem or chemical-registry harvesting rather than genuine cosmetic use. Flagged red to prevent false-positive ingredient matches against cosmetic products.
