C12-18 Alkanoyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
May feed Fungal Acne
Fungal acne-safe products avoid ingredients that feed Malassezia yeast, the cause of fungal acne. Unlike regular acne, fungal acne appears as small, uniform bumps and won't respond to typical acne treatments. If you suspect fungal acne, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis.
