PEG-8 Cocoate
Can worsen Dry Skin
Some ingredients have the potential to dry out skin, especially in higher concentrations or for those with already dry or sensitive skin. Not everyone will experience dryness from them. How your skin reacts can depend on the product, concentration, and your unique skin type.
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.
