About

Propargite is an ISO-named acaricide (spider mite control agent) with restrictions in the EU. It is classified as a Category 2 suspected carcinogen under EU CLP Regulation (H351) and has been evaluated for cosmetic use. Propargite is not listed on EU Annex II (absolute ban), but its carcinogenic classification and specific provisions under EU REACH mean its use in cosmetic products is effectively prohibited. It is an omega-thiol ester insecticide with specific provisions requiring strict containment.
