Quick answers

About this list

What makes aftersun fungal-acne safe?

Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) is driven by a yeast that feeds on fatty acids and the oils, butters, esters, polysorbates and lecithin made of them. A product is on this list only when none of its ingredients is one of those triggers — the same screen as our fungal acne checker, applied to the full ingredient list rather than the label claim. Ferments, fatty alcohols (cetyl, cetearyl) and squalene, which the checker marks “possible”, do not exclude a product.

Will a fungal-acne safe aftersun treat fungal acne?

No. A fungal-acne safe product only avoids feeding the yeast. Fungal acne itself is treated with antifungals such as ketoconazole or clotrimazole, usually on a doctor's or pharmacist's advice; these aftersun are what to use alongside without making it worse.

How do you decide a brand is cruelty-free?

From the brand's own published animal-testing policy. It is a brand-level claim, so it applies to every product of that brand on this list.
