BORON NITRIDE
Is BORON NITRIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Boron Nitride is generally suitable within the cosmetic forms and uses assessed. Its listed functions concern product bulk and slip, rather than an established effect on seborrheic dermatitis.
The assessment discusses the form presumed to be used in cosmetics; engineered nanotubes and other experimental materials are different exposures. No applicable human seb derm or independent Malassezia result was found. Consider the finished product and intended use, and avoid continued use if it repeatedly irritates your skin.

What is BORON NITRIDE used for in skincare?
Boron Nitride is listed for bulking and modifying slip. It helps shape a cosmetic's body and how smoothly it moves over a surface. The assessment describes an inorganic material and distinguishes cosmetic use from nanotube research. A handling function does not establish relief of inflammation or scaling.
