Propafenone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Propafenone is a Class IC antiarrhythmic agent that acts on cardiac sodium channels. It has no cosmetic function and is not listed in EU cosmetic regulation Annexes. As a systemic pharmaceutical with significant side effects (proarrhythmic effects, negative inotropic activity), it has no place in topical cosmetic formulations. Any presence in a cosmetic ingredient list would represent contamination, not intentional addition.
Known concerns
- Pharmaceutical agent — no cosmetic function
- Significant cardiac side effects
- Not assessed for topical safety
