About

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

Fluocortolone is a fluorinated synthetic corticosteroid registered in the EU as a prescription-only topical medicine for conditions such as severe eczema and psoriasis. It is not listed in the EU CosIng database as a permitted cosmetic ingredient. Its pharmacological mode of action (glucocorticoid receptor activation) and documented systemic risks preclude any cosmetic application under Regulation 1223/2009.

Known concerns

  • Prescription-only topical steroid — not permitted in cosmetics
  • Systemic corticosteroid effects with prolonged use
  • Not evaluated or approved under EU cosmetic regulation
