MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
Is MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough ingredient-specific evidence to give Magnesium Chloride a confident seborrheic-dermatitis verdict. In cosmetics it is mainly a mineral salt used to influence texture or support the formula, not an active intended to treat a flare.
No applicable evidence found for this page shows that Magnesium Chloride feeds Malassezia. Concentration and the complete formula can still affect whether a product stings already-inflamed skin. Use a comfortable product and stop if it repeatedly causes burning, tightness or redness.

What is MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE used for in skincare?
Magnesium Chloride is an inorganic salt used to adjust viscosity and support the physical behaviour of some cosmetic formulas. It may also appear as part of a mineral blend. Its presence does not by itself show a moisturising, antifungal or anti-inflammatory effect.
