LACTITOL
Is LACTITOL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Generally suitable for typical cosmetic use because the completed identity, direct seb-derm, Malassezia and broader skin review identified no supported reason for a general avoid recommendation. This is not a universal safety claim.
Check the complete formula and patch test when appropriate; stop using a product that repeatedly causes burning, itching, rash or worsening.
