AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL
Is AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Aminomethyl Propanol is generally a lower-concern ingredient for seborrheic dermatitis when a product is properly formulated. Its job is to adjust and stabilize pH, so the finished product's measured pH matters more than the ingredient name by itself.
No direct human seb derm or exact-name Malassezia evidence was found. A well-balanced formula may use only a small amount, while an irritating final formula can still sting inflamed skin. Judge the product by comfort and stop if burning or redness repeats.
