Below are the basic components of the Sweet Almond Cream, and they all support healthy skin anywhere on the body. The average comedogenic rating is 1-2, which is “low” and only has a very slight chance that it will clog skin pores.

Comedogenic: The tendency to block skin pores. We look for a low comedogenic rating, especially for products we use on our faces.

Aloe Vera: not comedogenic if used with non-comedogenic or slightly comedogenic fatty oils such as Grapeseed oil. An amazing botanical for the skin. It supports the body’s efforts to repair UV and cell damage, soothes acne, cuts, scraped and abrasion and reduces inflammation.

Castor Oil: 1 comedogenic rating
History shows that Castor oil has been used for over 4000 years. It has significant detox and purging properties, which makes it useful for facial blemishes. It is a drying oil, thus is best used with other fatty oils.

Olive Oil: 2 comedogenic rating
Nourishing with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that soften skin texture and assist in skin hydration to reduce signs of aging and blemishes.

Grapeseed Oil: 1 comedogenic rating
Rich in vitamin E and suitable for most skin types. It has anti-inflammatory properties helpful for reducing blemishes and absorbs quickly without leaving an oily residue.

Almond Oil: 2 comedogenic rating
It’s emollient properties makes Almond oil excellent for acne-prone skin, especially dry acne. It’s a wonderful choice for sensitive skin.

Jojoba Oil: 2 comedogenic rating
Very similar to human sebum, thus a wonderful choice for blemish-prone skin, as it balances the production of excess oil. Well tolerated by most, however, some experience an increase in blemishes with initial use, as jojoba helps the body “purge” toxins. Once this is accomplished, the skin is revitalized and feels “healthy."
