An article which I stumbled upon, written by a dermatologist.
If you’re like most people who suffer from acne, you probably look for the term “non-comedogenic” when shopping for skincare products. But in many cases, this isn’t enough, as there are many other acne-causing ingredients lurking in your skincare products that can lead to breakouts.
Below is a list of ingredients to avoid:
Butyl stearate
Cetearyl alcohol + Ceteareth 20
Cetyl acentate
Cocoa butter
Coconut butter
Cottonseed oil
D&C Red #17, #21, #3, #30, #36
Decyl oleate
Dioctyl succinate
Disodium monooleamido PEG 2-sulfosuccinate
Ethylhexyl palmitate
Glyceryl stearate SE
Glyceryl-3-diisostearate
Hexadecyl alcohol
Hydrogenated vegetable oil
Isocetyl alcohol, stearate, oleate, isostearate, linolate, palmitate, isostearate, neopentanoate
Laureth 23 and laureth 4
Lauric acid
Octyl palmitate and stearate
Oleth-3
Oleyl alcohol
PEG 200 dilaurate
PEG 8 stearate
PG monostearate
Polyglyceryl-3-diisostearate
Solulan 16
Sorbitan oleate
Steareth 10
Stearic acid tea
