Non-Comedogenic: What the term means

June 28, 2024

Ever look on the side of your skincare product and see the word "non-comedogenic"? Us too. Why do you see this term used so often in skincare and makeup products?

What is Non-Comedogenic?

Non-comedogenic means that the product will not clog pores. This is crucial because when pores are clogged, it can lead to acne and inflammation. Non-comedogenic products are designed to be gentle on the skin and reduce the risk of irritation or inflammation.

Why Choose Non-Comedogenic Products?

If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, non-comedogenic products are essential. By using products that are less likely to clog pores, you can help prevent new breakouts and maintain clearer skin.
