About

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

Flumetasone is a fluorinated synthetic corticosteroid similar to other steroids in this class, indicated for serious inflammatory skin conditions. It is not approved for cosmetic use and falls outside any EU CosIng list for permitted cosmetic ingredients. The risks of skin atrophy, telangiectasia, and systemic corticosteroid effects with prolonged use are well documented in medical literature.

Known concerns

  • Prescription-only topical steroid — not permitted in cosmetics
  • Skin atrophy and telangiectasia with prolonged use
  • No acceptable safety assessment for cosmetic use
