HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE
Is HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough seborrheic-dermatitis evidence to give Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate a universal safe or unsafe verdict. It is mainly a humectant that helps a formula retain moisture, not an ingredient intended to treat a flare.
No applicable evidence found for this page shows that Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate feeds Malassezia. Its carbohydrate origin is not a reason by itself to assume a yeast effect on skin. Judge the finished product and stop if it repeatedly causes stinging, redness or itching.

What is HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE used for in skincare?
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate is a mixture of sugar alcohols produced from starch. It is used to bind water, condition skin and improve the feel of a formula. Because it is a mixture, its exact composition can vary by supplier and should not be reduced to one simple sugar.
