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

Norgestrel is a synthetic steroid hormone (progestogen) listed on EU Annex II (prohibition list) for cosmetic use due to its endocrine-disrupting potential as a sex hormone. The EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 bans the use of sex hormones in cosmetic products entirely, with no concentration limit that would permit their inclusion.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II banned substance - sex hormone
  • Endocrine disruption potential
  • Not permitted in cosmetic formulations
