About

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

Nalorphine (N-allyl-normorphine) is an opioid antagonist and partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, historically used as an antidote for opioid overdose. It is a derivative of morphine with substantial pharmacological activity affecting the central nervous system. No cosmetic usage is documented, and the compound lacks safety data for topical application. EU cosmetic regulations do not include this substance in any positive list.
