Stearyl Heptanoate
May cause Acne
These ingredients are known to potentially trigger breakouts, but they won’t cause acne for everyone. Everyone’s skin responds differently so what clogs pores or causes breakouts for one person might be perfectly fine for another.
Explained
Stearyl Heptanoate is a waxy compound derived from stearyl alcohol.
As an emollient, it helps hydrate the skin by trapping moisture. However, this can exacerbate acne and oily skin.
