Propylene Glycol Isostearate
May cause Acne
These ingredients have a higher likelihood of clogging pores or triggering breakouts, especially for acne-prone skin. However, skin reactions are individual - what causes breakouts for one person may work fine for another. Patch test if you're concerned.
May feed Fungal Acne
Fungal acne-safe products avoid ingredients that feed Malassezia yeast, the cause of fungal acne. Unlike regular acne, fungal acne appears as small, uniform bumps and won't respond to typical acne treatments. If you suspect fungal acne, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis.
Explained
This ingredient is created by reacting propylene glycol with isostearic acid.
The skin conditioning property of this ingredient is both emollient and occlusive. Due to this, this ingredient may not be acne or fungal-acne safe.
