Product Information

As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light. Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. Kafi R, Kwak HS, Schumacher WE, et al.

Published 2022 Jun 5. doi:10.3390/antiox11061119 Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).

Consider Your Individual Needs: Like any skincare product, choose your blurring primer based on your unique skin concerns. For example, if you’re oily and acne-prone, opt for a lightweight, water-based primer with non-comedogenic and blemish-fighting ingredients like Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer. Conversely, if you’re dry or combination skinned, adding a blurring primer with hydrating and moisturizing benefits to your routine—like Charlotte Tilbury WONDERGLOW Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash—can help up those essential moisture levels while imparting its pore-minimizing magic. These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

FeaturesThere's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! Beauty bloggers, YouTubers, and editors recommend E.L.F.'s Poreless Putty Primer as the closest dupe for Tatcha's Silk Canvas on the market — even Jeffree Star himself recommends it as a solid alternative, though he notes that you won't get the same "luxury experience" as you would with Silk Canvas, and that his makeup looked a tad drier when using Poreless Putty. That being said, he says it's one of the best drugstore primers he's tried, and that you can't beat it for the price point. The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease. Jang HJ, Shin CY, Kim KB.
