Define Noncomedogenic
Noncomedogenic is a term that often appears on skin care products. Cleansers, moisturizers and even cosmetics may all have this word on their labels, but what’s it mean?
Noncomedogenic simply means that the product does not have ingredients such as oil, fatty acids or wax. The absence of such ingredients is typically considered beneficial for those who suffer from oily skin or acne breakouts because it doesn’t clog pores.
Noncomedogenic ingredients that facilitate the spreading of a product on the skin’s surface include water, panthenol, petrolatum and glycerin. Glominerals, a line of mineral based cosmetics available at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, contains noncomedogenic ingredients and is suitable for all skin types.
