PEG-8 Stearate: why it is flagged

• Pore-clogging: rated 3/5 on public comedogenic lists (indicative; tested as a pure ingredient).
• Fungal acne: Glyceryl and PEG fatty esters. Glyceryl stearate, glyceryl oleate and PEG-stearates are emulsifiers built on C16-C18 fatty acids.

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.
