Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

Severity 5/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Best avoided
  • Pore-clogging:Rated 4/5 on the comedogenic scale; a frequent trigger of facial breakouts.

A beloved natural moisturizer for body and hair that is nonetheless one of the most pore-clogging oils on facial skin.

Pore-clogging potential (2)

Ingredients rated likely to clog pores — relevant if your skin is acne-prone. This is a separate indicator and is not part of the safety score.

Indicative Fulton-scale ratings from published dermatology references — not a regulator classification; individual reactions vary.

No concerns found (10)

Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.

Recognized ingredients (4)

Catalogued in official cosmetic-ingredient inventories (EU CosIng and others) with no safety flag on record. Being recognized isn't a safety guarantee — it means the ingredient is on record but no authority has published a concern.

  • coconut alkanes· skin conditioning - emollient, solvent
  • polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate· skin conditioning
  • gelidium sesquipedale extract· skin protecting
  • maris aqua· humectant, solvent

Not enough data (1)

Not found in any dataset we hold (often trade-name blends or very niche ingredients), so we can't assess them — this is not a safety judgment either way.

  • potassium olivol PCA

This report is informational, not medical advice. Assessments summarize published findings (EU CosIng, IARC, ECHA, CIR, SCCS and others) about ingredients — not clinical testing of this specific product. Exposure, concentration and individual sensitivity all matter. Consult a dermatologist for medical concerns.
