About

Fluanisone (INN) is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Fluanisone is an INN-listed neuroleptic drug that acts as a dopamine antagonist, used in human and veterinary medicine for its antipsychotic and sedative properties. As a pharmaceutical agent with significant systemic effects on the central nervous system, it has no legitimate role in cosmetic formulations. EU cosmetics regulation explicitly prohibits drug substances for cosmetic purposes, and this compound would be considered unsafe for cosmetic application.

Known concerns

  • Pharmaceutical drug substance, not a cosmetic ingredient
  • CNS effects make it inappropriate for topical use
  • No cosmetic safety assessment available
