Polysorbate 80: why it is flagged

• Fungal acne: Polysorbates. Polysorbates (Tween) are fatty-acid esters; Tween 40/60/80 are classic growth supplements for Malassezia in the lab.

Not medical advice. These checks read the published ingredient list against public rule lists; results vary from person to person, formulas change, and ingredient lists can be incomplete. Ask a dermatologist or your doctor (and in pregnancy, your midwife or obstetrician) before relying on them.
