About

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

Terbutaline is a synthetic beta-2 adrenergic agonist used medically as a bronchodilator for asthma and COPD. It is not a cosmetic ingredient and has no established function or safety profile in topical skin care. Systemic absorption through skin or inhalation from spray products could produce significant cardiovascular effects including tachycardia, hypotension, and palpitations. There is no CosIng listing or EU regulatory acceptance for terbutaline in cosmetic products. Its inclusion in an ingredient list is highly unusual and may indicate an error or off-label formulation intent.

Known concerns

  • Not a cosmetic ingredient — pharmacological drug (beta-2 agonist)
  • Significant cardiovascular effects from systemic absorption
  • No EU CosIng listing or regulatory acceptance
  • Requires medical supervision — contraindicated in some conditions
