AMMONIUM SULFATE
Is AMMONIUM SULFATE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough evidence to rate Ammonium Sulfate specifically for seborrheic dermatitis. It is used to adjust viscosity, ionic strength or processing behaviour and is not a treatment ingredient.
This water-soluble inorganic salt is not a long-chain lipid and does not fit the practical Malassezia food-source screen. No exact human seb derm or ingredient-specific yeast study was found. In a finished cleanser or hair product, surfactant strength, pH, fragrance and contact time are more likely to determine comfort.

What is AMMONIUM SULFATE used for in skincare?
Ammonium Sulfate is a water-soluble inorganic salt used to control viscosity, ionic strength and manufacturing performance. It may help a surfactant or polymer system reach the intended texture. It is often combined with cleansing agents, conditioning polymers, water and other salts in shampoos, cleansers and technical cosmetic formulations.
