HEXADIMETHRINE CHLORIDE
Is HEXADIMETHRINE CHLORIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough direct evidence to rate Hexadimethrine Chloride specifically for seborrheic dermatitis. It is a conditioning and antistatic polymer, not a treatment ingredient.
Its large charged polymer structure is different from free fatty acids and plant oils, so the practical Malassezia lipid screen does not apply directly. No exact human seb derm or yeast study was found. In hair and cleansing products, fragrance, surfactant strength, buildup and scalp contact are more likely to decide comfort.

What is HEXADIMETHRINE CHLORIDE used for in skincare?
Hexadimethrine Chloride is a positively charged synthetic polymer that can cling to negatively charged hair or skin surfaces. It is used to reduce static, improve manageability and support formula performance. It is often combined with surfactants, silicones and other conditioning polymers in shampoos, conditioners and cleansing products.
