  May cause fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) breakouts.

  Ingredient Notes

  Irritant Alert! Not a Malassezia food — a detergent, not a lipid. It is here for barrier damage: dermatology uses SLS as its standard irritant control, and water loss through the skin stays raised ten days after a single exposure. A weakened barrier makes fungal acne harder to settle.

  Ingredient Notes

  In a lab study, Malassezia was unable to grow on glycerin without the presence of fatty acids in the agar, indicating that it is not a fungal acne trigger.
