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

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

Reproterol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist used medicinally as a bronchodilator for asthma and COPD treatment. It has no legitimate role in cosmetic formulations and is listed in EU Annex II of Regulation EC 1223/2009, which prohibits its use in cosmetic products. Beta-2 agonists as a class are excluded from cosmetic use due to their pharmacological activity, potential for systemic effects, and absence of any cosmetic benefit that would justify the risk.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex II — explicitly banned from all cosmetic products
  • Pharmaceutical agent — beta-2 agonist with systemic pharmacological activity
  • No cosmetic function that would justify use
  • Can cause cardiovascular and neurological systemic effects
