UNDERSTANDING
THE
COMEDOGENIC
SCALE

A cosmetic ingredient is considered comedogenic if it can clog pores and contribute to the formation of comedones (blemishes such as blackheads, pimples, and microcysts). ​

​

The three criteria for assessing the comedogenicity of a natural oil, for example, are: ​

- its rate of absorption into the skin; ​

- its freshness (time between harvesting and manufacturing process); ​

- and its sensitivity to oxidation​

A vegetable oil is considered comedogenic if it has more difficulty penetrating the skin's layers and if it oxidizes quickly.​

​

The Comedogenic scale applies to natural oils, butters, waxes or synthetic silicones, PEGs, surfactants. ​

It offers a level from 0 to 5 that indicates the likelihood of an ingredient clogging pores, 0 being least likely, 5 most likely.​

​

comedogenic_scale.png

 

Ingredients with an index between 0 and 2 are considered a non-comedogenic while those with an index above 2 are comedogenic.​

​

This scale is especially useful for those with oily skin, reactive skin with imperfections or acne-prone skin, helping them avoid ingredients that may contribute to inflammation, breakouts or blackheads.​

​

NABENIA's face products are formulated with non-comedogenic ingredients (index of 0 to 2) that respect the natural skin balance.​​
