Ingredient Notes
Niacinamide is a B vitamin, but not one of the B vitamins linked to Malassezia. Growth work names thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6) as increasing growth alongside a lipid, without being required for it. Thiamine is not food for the yeast: it speeds the step that turns an amino acid into the carbon skeleton it uses, and supplying that skeleton directly removes the need for thiamine entirely. B3 is not named in any of that work. We rate niacinamide safe on that evidence rather than treating the whole B group as one risk, and nothing we hold shows it treats fungal acne either.

Unfortunately I only got to try this mask out only once..but the most important fact remains that it's one of the few FA-safe sheet mask! The sheet quality was nice and the ingredient list was brief and true to claims. No alcohol, fragrance, EOs. Just pure anti-oxidant goodness... Show more
