Ethylhexyl Palmitate: why it is flagged

• Pore-clogging: rated 4/5 on public comedogenic lists (indicative; tested as a pure ingredient).
• Fungal acne: Fatty esters. Esters of C12-C24 fatty acids (myristates, palmitates, stearates, oleates, laurates) can be split by Malassezia lipases.

Not medical advice. These checks read the published ingredient list against public rule lists; results vary from person to person, formulas change, and ingredient lists can be incomplete. Ask a dermatologist or your doctor (and in pregnancy, your midwife or obstetrician) before relying on them.
