About

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

It is one of the most potent third-generation progestogens and is considered an endocrine-disrupting substance. The EU prohibition applies regardless of concentration, making any cosmetic use illegal within the European Union.
