HYDROLYZED KERATIN
Is HYDROLYZED KERATIN safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Hydrolyzed Keratin is generally a lower-concern ingredient for seborrheic dermatitis. It is used to coat and condition hair or skin, not as an antifungal or anti-inflammatory treatment.
No direct human seb derm or exact-name Malassezia evidence was found. Protein conditioners may improve hair feel without changing the scalp condition, and the wider shampoo or treatment formula matters more for irritation. Stop if a product repeatedly causes itching, burning or redness.

What is HYDROLYZED KERATIN used for in skincare?
Hydrolyzed Keratin is keratin protein broken into smaller fragments so it can disperse through cosmetic formulas. It forms a light film, reduces static, supports combing and can help hair feel smoother or less rough. Its benefits are mainly cosmetic conditioning rather than repair of seb derm.
