CI 77499
Is CI 77499 safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
CI 77499 is not an obvious seborrheic-dermatitis trigger, but the available record supports a context-dependent rather than treatment-style conclusion. It is a black pigment used to colour makeup and tinted skincare, and it does not feed yeast simply because it contains the word oxide.
No direct human seb derm or exact-name Malassezia evidence was found. Tolerance is more likely to depend on the complete makeup or sunscreen base, including fragrance, oils and how completely it is removed. Stop if the finished product repeatedly causes itching or redness.
