About

Methoxyphenamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Methoxyphenamine is a beta-adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator, structurally related to ephedrine and other sympathomimetic amines. Its pharmacological action as a systemic stimulant precludes cosmetic use under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which prohibits substances with medicinal or pharmacological activity in cosmetic products. While not formally listed by its CAS in Annex II, its drug classification and mechanism of action mean it falls within the scope of prohibition for cosmecuticals.

Known concerns

  • Pharmacological/bronchodilator activity — prohibited in cosmetics
  • CNS and cardiovascular stimulant effects
  • Not approved as a cosmetic ingredient in any jurisdiction
