The science and community expertise behind the Acrylis analyzer.
Provides clinical overviews and patient information on contact dermatitis, including allergens like acrylates found in cosmetics, medical devices, and nail products. Their clinical guidelines inform our primary acrylate classifications.
Visit Source →Offers detailed information on various allergens, including isobornyl acrylate and other acrylate compounds, along with their sources and cross-reactivity patterns. A key reference for our nail product and medical device allergen data.
Visit Source →A comprehensive New Zealand-based dermatological resource providing information on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates. Includes detailed information on specific acrylate compounds and occupational exposure risks.
Visit Source →Publishes periodic prevalence studies of contact allergens in North America, providing epidemiological data on the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. Their data helps prioritise which acrylate compounds to include in the database.
Visit Source →The National Center for Biotechnology Information hosts peer-reviewed scientific literature on acrylate sensitisation, including studies on the mechanisms of acrylate allergy, prevalence data, and clinical management guidelines.
Visit Source →An extensively researched blog post that is widely considered the definitive community guide on Malassezia folliculitis. Includes a comprehensive master list of safe and unsafe ingredients based on fatty acid carbon chain length analysis. This is our primary source for fungal acne trigger classifications.
Visit Source →A dedicated resource that provides tools and ingredient lists to help users identify products that are safe for those with Malassezia folliculitis. Their ingredient classification methodology informs our approach to categorising esters and fatty acid derivatives.
Visit Source →Scientific literature and research papers discussing the biochemistry of Malassezia yeast, particularly the relationship between fatty acid carbon chain length and yeast growth. This research underpins our understanding of why specific ingredients feed Malassezia and informs our trigger classifications.
Visit Source →Clinical information on the diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment of Malassezia folliculitis from a trusted dermatological resource. Provides medical context that helps us understand the practical significance of our ingredient classifications.
