C12-13 ALKYL LACTATE
Is C12-13 ALKYL LACTATE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough exact-ingredient information to make a clear general seb derm recommendation for C12-13 Alkyl Lactate. Its recorded functions concern conditioning and emollience.
No applicable human seb derm or independent Malassezia result was found for this exact material. Research involving C12-C15 alcohol lactates uses a different range and a drug-permeation setting, while lactate is not interchangeable with laurate. Neither similarity settles a yeast-feeding or safety claim. Consider the complete formula and avoid repeated use if it irritates your skin.
