Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!).

The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Is body lotion or body oil better?

Lotions, on the other hand, are often better at penetrating skin because they're partly water-based.

However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies.
