Safety score · 0–100

Avoid

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Phenoperidine is a synthetic opioid used in anaesthesia — a pharmaceutical, controlled substance, and never a cosmetic ingredient. EU cosmetics rules prohibit pharmaceutical actives, so its presence in a cosmetic is illegal.

Skin benefits

  • No legitimate cosmetic benefit — pharmaceutical opioid analgesic

Known concerns

  • Synthetic opioid analgesic — controlled substance, used clinically with anaesthesia
  • EU Annex II prohibits pharmaceutical actives in cosmetic products
  • No safe topical use scenario
