CI 17200
Is CI 17200 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough ingredient-specific evidence to give CI 17200 a confident seborrheic-dermatitis verdict. It is a colourant used to give cosmetics a red or pink tone, not an active intended to affect the condition.
No applicable evidence found for this page shows that CI 17200 feeds Malassezia or treats seb derm. Permitted uses can depend on product type and region, and the complete formula is more relevant to comfort. Stop if the product repeatedly causes burning, itching or redness.
