Worth a second look

These aren't in our database, but they look like fats or emulsifiers that can matter for fungal acne:

13 ingredients not in our pore-clogging database

These have no published comedogenic rating in our data. Most are preservatives, fragrance, extracts or actives that are not known pore-cloggers.

Ingredients rated 3–5 that appear after position 15 are usually present below about 1%, so they are shown as "Low amount" and do not trigger the pore-clog alert. Ratings come from the Fulton comedogenic scale (0–5) and published Malassezia research. They are a rough guide: the concentration and the whole formula matter, and everyone's skin is different.

Why it was flagged

Isopropyl Isostearate, rated 5/5, is at position #9 in the list (likely a smaller amount).
Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, rated 4/5, is at position #10 in the list (likely a smaller amount).
Sodium Chloride, rated 5/5, is at position #13 in the list (likely a smaller amount).

Many people use ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 without problems. These flags matter most if you are acne-prone and have noticed small closed bumps after starting it.
