12 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.

Acne-safe breakdown

We found no ingredients rated 3 or higher in Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (Vanilla). The ingredients doing most of the work are Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter and Sodium Hyaluronate, which are all low-risk for pores.
