22 Feb COMEDOGENIC RATING
Comedogenic means producing or causing back heads
Comedogenic rating is ranked by how likely it is that any specific ingredient such as oil or butter used in a cosmetic product will clog pores. Anyone who is susceptible to acne breakout and blackheads should avoid highly comedogenic oils as they are likely to cause reoccurring acne.
This rating starts from 0-5. The higher the comedogenic rate the higher the chances of acne breakouts. Using a non-comedogenic oil means that oil will not clog your pores.
- 0 Does not clog pores
- 1 Low risk of clogging pores
- 2 Moderately low (may clog pores for some but be fine for most)
- 3 Moderate ( will most likely clog oily skin type but may not clog dry skin type)
- 4 Fairly high ( clog pores for most people)
- 5 High probability your pores will become clogged
