MAGNESIUM CARBONATE HYDROXIDE
Is MAGNESIUM CARBONATE HYDROXIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough seborrheic-dermatitis-specific evidence to label Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide clearly helpful or harmful. It is a mineral powder used to bulk, bind or buffer formulas, not a seb derm treatment.
No applicable exact-ingredient human seb derm or Malassezia study was found. Because it can affect absorbency and texture, the finished product may feel comfortable or drying depending on the rest of the formula. Use that real-world feel rather than the ingredient name as the practical guide.
