CI 74160
Is CI 74160 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 74160 is not automatically unsafe for seborrheic dermatitis, but ingredient-specific skin evidence is limited. It is included to give a formula blue or green-toned colour and does not treat a flare.
No direct human seb derm or ingredient-specific Malassezia evidence was found for this page. Regulatory permission depends on product type and jurisdiction and does not predict personal tolerance. If a coloured product repeatedly irritates affected skin, judge the whole formula rather than assuming the pigment is the only cause.

What is CI 74160 used for in skincare?
CI 74160 is a blue phthalocyanine colourant used to tint cosmetics where regulations permit it. It contributes visual colour to makeup, washes and other formulas but does not add moisturising, cleansing or antifungal activity. The amount used and surrounding formula determine the finished appearance and feel.
