Safety score · 0–100
Caution
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A prostaglandin analog primarily used in prescription eye drops for glaucoma, not a conventional cosmetic ingredient.
Tafluprost is a synthetic prostaglandin F2alpha analog developed as a prescription ophthalmic drug for reducing intraocular pressure. It is not listed in the EU cosmetics database (Cosing) and has no established safety record in topical cosmetic formulations. Its use in cosmetics would be highly unusual and potentially regulated as a pharmacologically active substance under EU pharmaceutical law.
Known concerns
- Not approved for cosmetic use in EU
- Prescription pharmaceutical agent
- Lack of safety data for topical application
