PORE CLOGGING INGREDIENTS TO AVOID

We have compiled the following list for you to use as a guide when choosing acne-safe makeup and skincare products. Never trust that
a product is acne safe simply because the label says it is non-comedogenic or oil free. You must always check each ingredient against
our list. Please keep in mind that commercial brands often reformulate so recheck ingredients every so often to ensure that a previously
acne safe product is still in fact acne safe.

Ingredients must match exactly as written on this list to be considered pore clogging. The exception are ingredients with *** beside
them. These ingredients are pore clogging in any form. For example with Chlorella, Chlorella Botanicals or Chlorella Extract would also
be pore clogging.
