About
Noradrenaline and its salts is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is a catecholamine neurotransmitter with documented H300 (fatal if swallowed), H310 (fatal in contact with skin), and H330 (fatal if inhaled) hazard classifications. As a potent cardiovascular agent and stress hormone, it has no cosmetic function and represents a substance whose presence in cosmetic formulations would constitute a regulatory violation. Its potency as a vasoconstrictor also raises significant safety concerns for topical application.
Known concerns
- Severe acute toxicity (H300, H310, H330)
- Potent cardiovascular effects
- No cosmetic function or EU authorisation
- Prohibited under cosmetics regulation
