How we read it
Not a pore-clogger. Considered safe for acne-prone skin.
Is Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 comedogenic?
No. Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 isn't considered pore-clogging, and we read it as safe to use on acne-prone skin. That doesn't make it right for everyone, but congestion isn't the thing to watch for with it.
Why we read it this way
Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 is a rich synthetic emollient used as a lanolin substitute in balms and lip products. Despite the texture it produces, it is not on the pore-clogging references we curate against.
It is used to build heavy, occlusive products, so the formulas it appears in are rich by design. Where it sits in the ingredient list tells you more than the ingredient alone does.
One ingredient rarely tells the whole story. Run the whole label and see everything in the product at once.
