Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, better known as Avobenzone, is not automatically unsafe for seborrheic dermatitis. The evidence checked for this page is not specific enough to promise that every formula will suit inflamed skin, and its permitted use depends on product type, concentration and local rules.

No direct Malassezia effect was found for this ingredient. In sunscreen, the solvents, emollients, fragrance and overall finish may matter more for comfort than the UV filter alone. Sun protection is still important, so if one formula stings, look for a different well-tolerated sunscreen rather than abandoning protection altogether.
