CurlsBot Malassezia Checker for SebDerm
About Sebderm Safety
This tool analyzes product ingredients to check for ingredients known to feed Malassezia yeast, which can cause or worsen seborrheic dermatitis (sebderm). It is more important to avoid these ingredients on products that may stay on the scalp. Rinse-off products like shampoos and conditioners are less important. If you're looking for products that are safe for sebderm, check out our best sebderm safe products.
The analysis checks for ingredients that can feed Malassezia or promote its growth:
- Oils and fatty acids
- Waxes and esters
- Some emollient/fatty alcohols (like emulsifying wax, cetearyl alcohol)
- Amino acids
