ISOEUGENOL
Is ISOEUGENOL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Isoeugenol is best approached with caution on seborrheic-dermatitis-prone skin because it is a fragrance ingredient with recognized contact-allergy relevance. Fragrance is often unnecessary when skin is already itchy, cracked or inflamed.
Selected patch-test studies report reactions to Isoeugenol, but those results do not estimate every user's risk or prove that it causes seb derm. No exact-name Malassezia evidence was found. A fragrance-free option is usually simpler during an active flare.

What is ISOEUGENOL used for in skincare?
Isoeugenol is an aromatic fragrance ingredient with a warm, spicy and clove-like scent. It is used to shape a product's fragrance profile rather than to moisturise, cleanse or treat skin. Applicable fragrance-allergen restrictions and label rules are part of its cosmetic-use context.
