About
Levomoramide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Levomoramide is a synthetic opioid analgesic structurally related to morphine and methadone. Its status as a controlled substance with severe respiratory depression risk and addiction potential places it in the same regulatory category as morphine and other opioid derivatives prohibited from cosmetic use. There is no cosmetic function claim that could justify its inclusion, and its pharmacological potency makes it entirely unsuitable for topical application in consumer products.
Known concerns
- Potent opioid with no cosmetic function
- Controlled substance with addiction potential
- Severe respiratory depression risk
- EU cosmetics prohibition applies
