About
An anthelmintic veterinary drug with no legitimate cosmetic use, representing a pharmaceutical contaminant rather than a cosmetic ingredient.
Etilfelmin hydrochloride (also known as 1-ethyl-3-methylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine hydrochloride or-related structure) is classified as an anthelmintic agent primarily used in veterinary medicine for parasite control in livestock. This pharmaceutical compound has no established safety profile for cosmetic use and no history of intentional cosmetic formulation. Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Article 4, cosmetic products must not contain substances which are pharmaceutical agents. Its presence in any cosmetic ingredient list would represent serious non-compliance. The compound does not appear in the EU CosIng database as an approved cosmetic ingredient.
