About

Paramethasone (inn) is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Paramethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid listed in the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) register and registered as a prescription-only medicine in EU member states. Its use in cosmetic products is prohibited as it is a pharmacologically active substance without a safety assessment under Regulation 1223/2009. Like all registered steroids, it is subject to strict medical supervision due to its systemic effects.

Known concerns

  • Prescription-only pharmaceutical — prohibited in cosmetics
  • Systemic corticosteroid effects with prolonged use
  • Not assessed or permitted under EU cosmetic safety framework
