Highly comedogenic
A known pore-clogging ingredient. Avoid if you're acne-prone.
Why we read it this way
Listed as pore-clogging by Acne Clinic NYC. A rich seed or nut oil whose fatty-acid profile is reported to congest pores in concentrated, leave-on use on the face.
The nuance
Often fine on the body or on resilient skin; the concern is concentrated, leave-on use on breakout-prone areas.
