Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff are chronic, Malassezia-driven conditions, and plenty of regular hair and skin products make them worse. Learn why it flares, then build a Malassezia-safe routine from our collection of solutions that help manage flaking and itch.

Inflammation triggered by yeast in oily skin
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition driven by Malassezia, the same yeast behind fungal acne and dandruff. It typically shows up where your skin produces the most oil: scalp, around the nose, eyebrows, behind the ears, and the upper chest.
Dandruff is essentially scalp seb derm with less inflammation. They sit on the same spectrum, respond to the same treatment, and the line between them is fuzzy.
Managing it day to day
Chronic skin conditions respond to consistent, Malassezia-safe routines. Here's how to build yours.

Audit what you're already using
Many mainstream products contain oils and fatty acids Malassezia feeds on, so a routine can quietly work against you. Run your labels through our free Ingredient Checker to spot ingredients that can make things worse.
