CI 77492
Is CI 77492 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 77492 is not automatically unsafe for seborrheic dermatitis, but direct ingredient-specific evidence is limited. It is the Colour Index name for yellow iron oxide, used to tint makeup and skincare rather than to moisturise skin or treat a flare.
No applicable evidence found for this page shows that CI 77492 feeds Malassezia. A loose powder, concealer and tinted cream can feel very different because their binders, emollients and fragrance differ. Judge the finished product and stop if it repeatedly leaves affected skin dry, itchy or irritated.

What is CI 77492 used for in skincare?
CI 77492 is a yellow iron oxide pigment used to adjust colour in makeup, tinted sunscreen and other cosmetic products. It contributes shade, coverage and opacity. Its role is visual, so it does not make the surrounding formula gentler or more effective against seborrheic dermatitis.
