About

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

Flugestone acetate is a synthetic steroidal progestogen structurally related to progesterone, primarily used in veterinary medicine for estrus synchronization in livestock. Like other progestogens and steroids with endocrine activity, it is not listed in CosIng and is not permitted in cosmetic products under EU Regulation 1223/2009. Its hormonal mechanism of action makes it unsuitable and prohibited in cosmetic formulations.

Known concerns

  • Prohibited in EU cosmetic products
  • Endocrine-disrupting steroidal activity
  • Not listed in CosIng
  • No safe cosmetic use established
