About

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

Pirbuterol (CAS 38677-81-5) is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist used as an inhaled bronchodilator for asthma and COPD. Its pharmacological profile (bronchodilation, tachycardia, skeletal muscle tremor) is incompatible with cosmetic use. It is not listed in EU CosIng as a permitted cosmetic ingredient, and systemic absorption from inhalation or topical routes would deliver unintended pharmacological effects. No cosmetic safety assessment has been established.

Known concerns

  • Not listed in EU CosIng as a permitted cosmetic ingredient
  • Beta-2 adrenergic agonist — serious pharmacological activity
  • Cardiovascular effects from systemic absorption risk
