Caution

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

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

Fenoterol is a synthetic beta-2 selective adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator in asthma and COPD treatment. Like other catecholamine derivatives, it carries significant cardiovascular risks including tachycardia, palpitations, and potential arrhythmia. As a pharmaceutical substance with systemic pharmacological effects, it falls outside the scope of EU cosmetics regulation EC 1223/2009. No REACH registration or SCCS evaluation exists for cosmetic applications. Cosmetic use is categorically prohibited.

Known concerns

  • Beta-2 adrenergic bronchodilator drug - pharmacological activity incompatible with cosmetics
  • Cardiovascular risks including tachycardia and arrhythmia
  • No EU cosmetics authorization or SCCS evaluation
  • Outside scope of EU cosmetics regulation
