How we read it

Highly comedogenic

Known to clog pores. If you break out easily, this is the one to skip.

Is Ethoxylated Lanolin comedogenic?

Yes. Ethoxylated Lanolin is a known pore-clogging ingredient, and we read it as highly comedogenic. If you're acne-prone, it's worth avoiding, especially when it sits near the top of an ingredient list.

Why we read it this way

A modified lanolin flagged as pore-clogging.

One ingredient rarely tells the whole story. Run the whole label and see everything in the product at once.
