About

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

Hydromorphone is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic (Schedule II controlled substance in the US) used for severe pain management. It has no cosmetic application and is not listed in the EU CosIng database. Narcotic and opioid analgesics are prohibited under Annex II of EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. There is no safety justification for opioid exposure through cosmetic products, and the ingredient carries no history of safe cosmetic use.
