POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
Is POTASSIUM CHLORIDE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough evidence to rate Potassium Chloride specifically for seborrheic dermatitis. In cosmetics it helps control viscosity or formula balance and is not a treatment ingredient.
It is an inorganic salt rather than a fatty acid or oil, so the usual Malassezia lipid concern does not fit. No exact human seb derm or ingredient-specific yeast study was found. At normal cosmetic levels, the surrounding surfactants, pH, fragrance and active ingredients are more useful clues to how a product may feel.

What is POTASSIUM CHLORIDE used for in skincare?
Potassium Chloride is a water-soluble mineral salt used to adjust viscosity, ionic strength and general formula performance. It can help a cleanser or emulsion reach the intended texture without adding a treatment effect. It is often combined with surfactants, water, buffering salts and conditioning agents in shampoos, cleansers and creams.
