ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE
Is ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Aluminum Hydroxide is generally a lower-concern ingredient for seborrheic dermatitis in a properly formulated cosmetic. It is often used to coat pigments or sunscreen particles and support formula texture rather than act directly on the skin condition.
No applicable evidence found for this page shows that Aluminum Hydroxide feeds Malassezia or treats a flare. The other filters, pigments, fragrance and emollients in the product are more likely to affect comfort. Stop if the complete formula repeatedly stings or increases redness.
