emollient
Contains ~45% oleic acid and ~35% linoleic acid. Oleic acid is a preferred Malassezia substrate; lipase cleaves the triglyceride to release free oleic acid for yeast growth. Generally safe for non-seb-derm skin.
Argan Oil is a emollient backed by early but promising evidence (evidence tier 3 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 1 reporting a positive effect.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology · 2017 · review
Review of plant oils for skin-barrier repair (including argan oil): argan is low/non-comedogenic; linoleic acid supports barrier repair and benefits acne-prone skin while oleic acid can disrupt the barrier, so high-linoleic oils are generally favored. Malassezia/seborrheic dermatitis is not specifically addressed.
Journal of Clinical and Investigative Dermatology · 2015 · review
Comprehensive review of seborrheic dermatitis: Malassezia lipases hydrolyze sebum into free fatty acids including oleic acid, which penetrate the stratum corneum and provoke inflammation/scaling in susceptible skin, supporting caution with oleic-acid-rich oils; argan oil is not specifically evaluated.
