Inulin Lauryl Carbamate and fungal acne
No known trigger
Why it's not a known trigger
A fructan (inulin) polymer carrying lauryl groups through carbamate links, like the ruled neutral Lauroyl Lysine amide: carbamates are not shown to be cut the way esters are, and cleavage would free no fatty acid.
C12 caveat stated openly: if Malassezia carbamate cleavage is ever shown, the freed lauryl alcohol is trigger-1 and this row re-rules at once.
