About

Pirbuterol Acetate [usan] is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Pirbuterol acetate is a quaternary ammonium salt of a pyridine-derived bronchodilator. As a beta-2 sympathomimetic agonist it is classified as a pharmaceutical active ingredient and is not authorized in EU cosmetic products under Regulation 1223/2009. Its quaternary ammonium structure raises concerns for systemic absorption and cardiovascular effects. Cosmetic use would constitute an unauthorized medicinal substance in a personal care product.

Known concerns

  • Unauthorized pharmaceutical drug in cosmetics
  • Beta-adrenergic agonist — potential cardiovascular effects
  • No EU cosmetic authorization
