About

Norgestimate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Norgestimate is a synthetic progestogen classified as a sex hormone and prohibited from cosmetic use under EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II. Its endocrine-disrupting properties are well-documented, and it shares the same regulatory status as other steroidal hormones in the prohibited list. No concentration threshold exists that would permit its use in any cosmetic product within the EU.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned substance - sex hormone
  • Documented endocrine disruption
  • No permitted cosmetic use
