How to use the Ingredient Checker

Paste the full ingredient list (INCI) from any skincare or makeup product into the box below and click "Check ingredients". This tool will flag ingredients that may be problematic for fungal–prone skin.

 

Our checker scans for ingredients commonly associated with feeding Malassezia yeast.

 

  • Certain oils, esters and fatty acid derivatives
  • Polysorbates and related emulsifiers
  • Ferments and other high-sensitivity ingredients
  • Galactomyces
  • Lipid-based ingredients that can feed Malassezia

 

The checker accounts for different naming formats, including dashes, slashes, and alternate INCI spellings — so you don’t have to guess.
