About

Meclofenoxate Hydrochloride is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Meclofenoxate is a nootropic (cognitive enhancer) drug with mild stimulant properties. It carries H302 (harmful if swallowed), H315 (skin irritation), H319 (eye irritation), and H335 (respiratory irritation). While not as acutely toxic as other substances in this list, the pharmaceutical classification and lack of safety assessment for cosmetic use preclude its inclusion in cosmetic formulations.

Known concerns

  • Nootropic/CNS stimulant drug
  • Oral acute toxicity (H302)
  • Irritation potential (H315, H319, H335)
  • Not authorized for cosmetic use
