About
Propiram is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Propiram (1-(1-phenylpropyl)piperidine-4-carboxamide) is an opioid analgesic with partial agonist activity at opioid receptors. It is regulated as a controlled substance and has no authorization as a cosmetic ingredient. Under EU cosmetics law, it would be considered a prohibited substance. There are no safety studies supporting cosmetic use, and its pharmacological profile is entirely inconsistent with topical cosmetic applications.
Known concerns
- Prohibited for cosmetic use — opioid analgesic
- Controlled substance with no cosmetic safety rationale
- No data supporting topical safety assessment
