About

Etorphine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Etorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic used primarily in veterinary immobilisation. Its extreme potency (roughly 1000-3000× morphine in analgesic effect) and status as a Schedule II controlled substance globally make any cosmetic presence entirely implausible. There are no cosmetic ingredient database listings, no established skin benefits, and it would be classified as a pharmaceutical substance whose cosmetic use would violate drug safety regulations.

Known concerns

  • Highly potent opioid with no cosmetic function
  • Schedule II controlled substance globally
  • No EU cosmetics authorisation possible
  • Extreme pharmacological potency
