Understanding Oil Properties
Comedogenic Rating (0-5)
0-1: Non-comedogenic. 2: Low risk. 3: Moderate. 4-5: May clog pores. Choose 0-1 for acne-prone and facial formulas.
Absorption Rate
Fast-absorbing oils (grapeseed, apricot kernel) leave little residue. Slow-absorbing oils (olive, castor) provide longer slip time.
