8002453164034Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Ephedrine and its salts are a chemical compound originally derived from plants, often used in traditional medicine as a stimulant. In cosmetics, it might appear in products like creams or lotions, but it is banned from all cosmetic products sold in the European Union. This ban exists because ephedrine can affect the nervous system and cardiovascular system, potentially causing side effects like increased heart rate or blood pressure. The EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 lists it in Annex II as a prohibited substance, meaning it cannot be used in any cosmetic formulation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has not classified ephedrine for carcinogenicity, but its stimulant properties raise safety concerns for topical use. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
