What "fungal-acne safe" means here — an ingredient screen against the groups malassezia can feed on, the same logic as our ingredient checker. It's a strong starting filter, not medical advice or a guarantee — tolerances are individual and ingredient lists change, so patch-test. See the fungal-acne-safe hub for the full methodology and every step.
Fungal-acne flags are ingredient-screening seed data pending human verification, not a clinical diagnosis. If bumps are persistent, itchy or spreading, see a dermatologist — malassezia folliculitis is easily mistaken for acne.
