About

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

Hydrocodone (4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one) is a phenanthrene-type opioid with high abuse potential and risks of respiratory depression, sedation, and dependence. It is controlled under the UN Single Convention on Psychotropic Substances and listed on EU Annex II as a prohibited narcotic for cosmetic use. Any cosmetic product containing an opioid analgesic would be in serious violation of both cosmetics and narcotics regulations.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned narcotic — internationally controlled opioid
  • High abuse potential and dependence risk
  • Respiratory depression risk
