About

Metaraminol Bitartrate [usan:jan] is a cosmetic ingredient. Raw material has significant toxicity. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Metaraminol is a sympathomimetic amine with both direct and indirect alpha-adrenergic activity used as a vasopressor in medical settings. It carries H301, H311, and H331 (acute toxicity by oral, dermal, and inhalation routes). The combination of acute toxicity across multiple exposure routes and the pharmaceutical classification makes this substance unsuitable for cosmetic formulations.
